[SOLVED] Can I power on PC remotely ?

[hw_user]

I want to power on a PC when I am travelling. I now have devices connected to smart plug and switches which allows me to power on using Apps on my phone. I can have the PC connected to a smart plug. But it will not do anything with my smart plug on or off especially when the battery of the PC is charged. Is there anyway that I can get the PC to power up or down remotely ?
