That's a good solution. What is your PC controls yaml if it isn't too private?

    Sorry, that would help wouldn't it aha
    In templatesensors.yaml:

      - switch:
      unique_id: pc_admin_controls
      name: Admin Controls
      icon: mdi:shield-crown-outline
      turn_on: []
      turn_off: []

    I made it a while ago. I believe it could also be made in helpers UI now, in Settings > Devices and Services > Helpers > Create Helper > Toggle, and setting a name and icon, and saving. It'll be input_boolean.switch_name and is functionally the same, as my conditional cards do the actions

    I was just curious what functions you were running on the PC that you wanted to control via HA.

    I used to use Has Agent, now I have LNXlink, which had quick buttons for lock, log out, ctrl-F4 and alt-F4, and power controls. I also have media player functions for watching stuff and controlling from the couch. I tried to share yaml but I think it bypassed a comment limit
