Customer Questions & Answers
What types of computers and operating systems are compatible with this module, and are there any specific hardware requirements?
It is compatible with any desktop computer that has a PCIe (PCI Express) slot for installing the module. Remote control is independent of the operating system, as it acts directly on the power-on hardware. It does not depend on the system (Windows, Linux, macOS), but for data transfer via TeamViewer, the system must be booted and compatible with that software. It is not suitable for laptops or systems without a PCIe slot.
What are the dimensions, main materials of the module, and what exactly is included in the box?
The module usually has a low-profile PCIe card format (approx. 120 mm x 22 mm x 18 mm), with a metal housing and antenna bracket for antenna mounting and heat dissipation. It includes a compact WiFi antenna, the connection cables (two units, for DIY use or direct connection to the motherboard and power button), and the relay module itself. It does not usually include an external power supply, as it is powered from the PC.
How is the installation process carried out, and are there any risks to the power supply or other PC components?
Installation requires opening the PC case, inserting the module into a free PCIe slot and connecting the cables to the physical power button. It is important to do this with the PC unplugged and while discharging static electricity to avoid damage. The dual power channel ensures there is no interference with, or damage to, the original button. As it is low power (less than 1W), it does not present any significant additional electrical risk if installed correctly.
What is the technical difference compared with alternatives such as WiFi smart plugs or timers for switching PCs on?
Unlike smart plugs that simply cut the power, this module acts on the PC’s 'power on' signal, simulating the button and ensuring safe power on/off without risking data or hard drive damage. Plugs only force a restart, which can corrupt the file system; this method is safer and compatible with standard PC hardware procedures.
Which home automation systems is this WiFi relay module compatible with?
It is compatible with Alexa, Google Home and the eWelink app, and also integrates with Sonoff for remote control.
Can I use this module to turn on any computer?
It works with computers that have a PCIE connector, so it is compatible with most computers that have this connector.
How does the module protect the hard drive when turning off the computer?
When using the app to shut down, the module closes the session properly without cutting power abruptly, helping prevent hard drive damage.
What is included in the box when buying this module?
It includes 1 wireless remote switch for computer and 2 cables for DIY installation or branded computers.
Can the computer be controlled by voice?
Yes, the module is compatible with voice commands via Alexa and Google Assistant using IFTTT for hands-free control.
