ESP32 Remote PC Start LED + Photoresistor Trigger

This is a small ESP32 project box designed to allow remote power-on of a PC — by triggering the power switch pins using a light pulse. I built this because my PC could not use Wake-on-LAN reliably after being disconnected from power — I wanted a solution that works as soon as the PC is plugged in, without requiring special BIOS settings or deep sleep. This way, as soon as the PC is connected to power, it can be started remotely via WiFi. How it works:The ESP32 connects to WiFi and hosts a simple webserver (code below).When triggered, it lights an LED mounted inside the box.Opposite the LED, through a small cylindrical hole, a photoresistor is positioned — connected to the PC’s start pins.The light pulse “bridges” the start pins — causing the PC to turn on (just like pressing the power button).Usage:You can call:http://[ESP32-IP]/trigger?time=[duration in ms]→ This turns the LED on for the specified duration.In my setup:1000 ms triggers PC startup or shutdown5000 ms triggers a forced sh
