Feature: Widget

This could really use a widget for one click wake of a specific device

I also like the idea of having a widget on the home screen to wake a device or multiple ones with the click of a button. I found the home_widget Plugin and a Google Codelab which explains the process of creating home widgets with flutter.

But this involves writing native code for iOS and Android. I am familiar with Kotlin and native Android development but haven't touched Swift and native iOS development for now. Currently there is also no possibility to create clickable iOS Widgets but with iOS 17 coming this fall this functionality is being added (see Adding interactivity to widgets and Live Activities)

I definitely plan to implement this feature in the future, but I would priorities some other minor improvements of the app first. But thank you very much for this feature request!

Nice to hear that it is in the pipeline... However, if you would have to write OS specific code any way I would not mind test-driving Android version. I am sure iOS users would not be that mad that Android users got something first :D I am joking. This is nice app I am sure you can manage your schedule best.
NP for FT request. I actually had some devices that do not wake then called by other apps thou settings are the same I assumed networking but... not sure. Anyways yours seam to work reliably and it has nice design, so I would enjoy giving it to my relatives so that they could wake local photo album box without having to open an app.
BTW Telegram chat shortcut widget has simple but effective design that could be inspiration

Button for device dot to indicate status?

This would be awesome if it would make the process easier for your relatives to wake their local photo album box. It is very great to see if the app I am developing is actually being used and makes something easier for someone!

I had a similar UI in mind, different widget sizes with different amount of devices and a small dots if the device is online or not. If you have seen the latest update of Simple Wake On Lan the online state of all devices is now shown with a small dot. I would like to implement the UI similar to this and take inspiration from your picture from telegram above!

But like mentioned before it will take some more time until I get started on this feature because interactive widgets still aren't available for iOS until now.
