You can do this easier with Wake on LAN. See https://danielpgross.github.io/friendly_neighbor/howto-sleep... for prior art.

WoL is easier if it works. My experience has been that with consumer hardware it usually doesn't. Debugging it is more hassle than it's worth IMO. I think if you don't have a proper mobo with a BMC then just throwing in a KVM is easier on average.
