Azabooti presents a remote power switch for desktops, enabling wireless boot and shutdown from across a room. This plug-and-play receiver and transmitter pair fits standard PC power headers for convenient hands-free control.

Power your desktop remotely with a single press of a button.

This device is designed for desktops only and is not intended for laptops or integrated systems. It works with a PC motherboard power header via a wired receiver, while the button on the transmitter communicates wirelessly to trigger the boot sequence. The setup is based on standard motherboard power management practices, so you can maintain familiar wiring while gaining the convenience of remote control.
