Tired of bending down every time and looking for the power button on the system unit by touch.
* Switching on from the keyboard will not work - the keyboard works via Bluetooth , and the only PS / 2 keyboard that suited me (BTC 6300CL) is no longer produced.
* Wake On Lan is interesting, but in order to turn on the computer from my smartphone, I need to make about 6-7 movements to unlock it, find the right program and eventually start the computer.

Has mankind not yet come up with something to solve this problem?

On DX there is such an IR receiver with a remote control .
It has two distinctive features:
1. It is seen as a keyboard in the system and all remote control buttons can be assigned as any keys or keyboard shortcuts.
2. Knows how to turn on the computer, because. It is possible to connect to mat. board.
I use it myself (though with HTPC) and recommend it to you.

1. Turn on the button on the filter by setting the BIOS - always on (Power On)
2. Press the button with your foot, then you don’t have to bend over :-)

So why not put it in sleep mode? Restored instantly, just press any key.

I was lucky, I can click the mouse 2 times. Configured in bios. About Claudia, I see that in no way, but you didn’t write about the mouse ...
