-Install the executable file on your PC
-Make sure your Android and PC are on the same Wi-Fi network
-Open the app and choose one of four different options: shutdown, restart, hibernate, and ‘abort’, which aborts the process
Better yet, you can schedule this app to shut down, power up, or restart your PC at certain times. Set the timer for when you leave the house in the morning and never worry about wasting electricity again.
Now here’s the “catch”: Droid Remote Lite is still in development. There is a working version currently available and it appears to work without issue for most users, although there are still some glitches and problems remaining.
