I use smart plugs for many things now, my cable/fiber routeur, base station for my Wyze camera setups, I can boot all of these from may other home, sometimes saving me having to drive 400km just to switch of and back on a plug
OK, I just remembered that you can shutdown the host from within HA. And in fact there is a service called hassio.host_shutdown
So all you need to do is to call this service either from the developer tools or from an automation.
Very simple.

No ssh, no certificates etc needed!
does that work regardless of the host? I’ve always run mine from a raspberry so never tried it on other configurations.
Just tried that and it WORKS
Just changed the -service to the following, and the PC shuts down
- service: hassio.host_shutdown

You are the man
Many many thanks for your patience and help
This may be useful to many as I came across many people asking hwo to shut down their PC
Yes it should work. You can simply try develper tools->services search for hassio.host_shutdown and execute it. It will not work if the HA host is also virtalized like on Proxmox etc.
should do,
click on developer tools
copy : Home Assistant Supervisor: Power off the host system. then click on the Call service button, and wait as it takes about a minute to run
Great that I finally could help. Please mark it as the solution.
Thanks
