The annoying thing with Macs is they don't have the ability to 'Power on after clean shutdown and power cycle'. They can power on after a power fail, but that's not the same thing.
I want to be able to have power toggle on my Mac remotely, but without soldering in a jumper on the power button, AFAIK there's no way to do it :(
- bobson381 4mo agoThat is frustrating. Sounds like no way forward w/o basically forcing a crash via hard shutdown from a PDU.
- brewdad 4mo agoThey mentioned Gil’s Fingerbot. It’s literally a remote controlled “finger” that can be commanded to press your power button. Obviously, if your MacBook goes with you everyday rather than living on a rack, this isn’t a practical solution.

- geerlingguy 4mo agoI just found out newer desktop Macs now have a setting as of 26.5 that allows power on after power restore even without an unsafe shutdown. I'll have to test this.
