We live in a world where a refrigerator can send messages. Of course, this may seem unnecessary to some people, but this is the future that was talked about decades ago. It is the connection, especially between various household devices and appliances, that makes the life of a modern person easier. When you have devices that can “talk” to each other, you get quick and easy remote access to information, and remote control of most things.
One of the simplest, but truly necessary things, is to turn off the computer using a smartphone. This is very easy to do; you just need to have the application on your mobile device.
So let's see how to turn off your computer using your smartphone.

Ways to control a computer via phone
Remote control is a great feature when optimizing your phone. Everything happens quickly and easily. There are three ways a user can control a computer through their device:
- Using special programs;
- Using built-in deferring;
- Using wireless networks.
The first method is more common and popular. First of all, this is due to the fact that downloading a program is much easier than understanding the settings and deferring. Also, many utilities contain additional features that are not available with built-in settings.
All methods have both their pros and cons. They are clarified during the work itself, when the user begins to control the device. Also, remote control may depend on what operating system the phone and computer have. This is also worth starting from.
Some applications do not work on iOS if they work on Android.
There are many special programs; the most popular ones will be presented below. The method is convenient because it is 100% likely to work. Almost all phones instantly connect to the computer, and after that you can freely control it. The user's options when connecting are not limited at all. The user can play music, send emails and even play their favorite games.
Having chosen a method, it is worth considering each in more detail, because they have their own characteristics.

Question to the expert
Which method is better to choose: built-in or using programs?
If we consider the pros and cons together, then we should give preference to the second method - using programs. This is more convenient than the built-in capabilities, because you will need to install the utility, and then it will configure everything as needed. With the built-in method, the user will have to configure everything himself.
Are these programs safe?
Yes. Almost all programs do not harm the phone system or the processes that take place in it. Note! To make sure you don’t launch viruses into the “brain” of your phone, you should download all programs from trusted sources, or better yet, from official ones - AppStore or Google Play.
What can you do remotely?
All that is needed. You can send letters, play music. The functionality depends on the installed application on your phone and computer. This also plays an important role. Having chosen an application, it is worth familiarizing yourself with what opportunities are available, what can be changed remotely and how to do it correctly.
Any connection method
Shutdown Start Remote is a great solution, but we've already mentioned its biggest limiting factor - both of your devices need to be on the same network. If you need more flexibility, you will need another program - Airytec Switch Off. It may not be the newest piece of software, but it still works.
Start by downloading the program from the official website and installing it on your computer. Now launch the program and you will see its icon in the taskbar (it looks like the power symbol on your remote control).
Right-click the icon and select Options from the menu that appears. Go to the tab labeled "Remote". Here, find the “Enable Web Interface” option and check the box next to it.
While you're in this menu, you can take one extra step. Here you will see another checkbox that says “Enable Authentication.” This allows you to set a password that you will need to enter whenever you want to access the program remotely.
You don't have to do this, but it will prevent other users from controlling your computer through Airytec Switch Off without authorization. This is not a particularly likely scenario, but it will never harm security.
In any case, click "Apply" to save the changes. Next, select “View/Update Static Address” from the same window. You will now see your "Current Disable URL" - that's what you were after all.
By entering this URL into the browser of any device, you can manage the program via the Internet. So, just copy the URL to your phone (you can bookmark it for easy access). Then, using your smartphone, open the URL, enter the password if you have set one, and you will see the program's web interface. From here, simply select the command to turn off your computer.
As a note, your computer's firewall may interfere with this program, so you may need to disable it.
How to restart your phone even if the power button does not work (Samsung, Redmi, Honor, etc.)
Good day!
Moreover, the nature of the problem can be very different (from simple slowdown, to a “extinguished” screen.), and depend on many factors: current applications, device model, its firmware, etc. Of course, in this note (below) I will consider several alternative ways to “force” the phone to reboot.
O will be universal and relevant for phones of different brands: Samsung, Redmi, Honor, etc.
Now, after the preface, closer to the topic.
