Controlling and monitoring computers (Windows, Linux) from Home Assistant?

There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go... or maybe I did not look hard enough.

How do you do it?

My priorities are:

Top priority

  • Turn off

Amazing to have

  • Volume controls
  • Pause/play

Nice to have

  • monitoring state (on/off)

I saw that System Bridge exists, and looks almost perfect aside from the fact that is not even in the AUR (outdated) and is not distributed under Chocolatey in Windows... this makes me think that the project is very much not widely used at all.

So, how do you deal with these things?

System Bridge might just be what you're looking for.

As I said... I know of its existance but it seems like distribution channels are non-existant, which makes me precautious about using it.

What do you mean by that? There are recent releases on their github.
