Ok, just my pi in the sky thought. Could one build some very low power network thingy like a Raspberry Pi Zero that essentially sits idle and when it receives a WOL - kick the Raspberry Pi someway to wake up? Specs I found: Idle, HDMI disabled, LED disabled, USB WiFi adapter 120 mA (0.7W) Of course ...
