Question Can i Remote Control my PC using a IR Receiver Plugged into my Motherboard Power Switch?

[Rayhan Jerome]

Hey, I recently bought a Universal IR remote that can control anything that uses an IR receiver nad I had this idea about turning on my pc using IR receiver plugged into my Motherboard Power Switch. The questions are... will it work? does what do i need to do that kinda thing? and also do you think it will be expensive to set all that up? thankyou so much.

Beyond my knowledge to answer but even if possible what's the point? With a TV several yards away from your armchair it makes perfect sense, but a PC which is usually right beside you?

You can't reach your PC to turn it on in the normal fashion?

I was thinking I could make a scenario when everything lights up with a single voice command. PC, Aircon, LEDs, TV, and more with a "hey siri, light it all up" scenario hahahaha.
