'Turn On macOS Screen Remotely
Is there a way to turn on the monitor remotely on macOS? I'm trying to write an app that will do this.
I've tried a couple of things but can't seem to find a way of triggering the screen to turn on after it has been turned off for power saving.
I've got a macOS app that advertises itself on the network via Bonjour. I can communicate to it via sockets, even when the computer is sleeping. However, I'm not sure what I can do from this macOS app that would trigger the screen to come on. I've tried sending a WoL packet and I've tried using Caffiene.
The macOS app doesn't need to pass Apple Review so I'm fine with using private APIs if necessary.
