Given any IP device, to add a WOL command to it, you would use Add Command, select the +WAKE ON LAN command from the list, and then enter the MAC address of that device in the MAC Address field on that panel.

sorry but i'm missing something... i do an "add activity", "add command" which displays "choose device". the pc i want to wol is not there nor is there an option to wol.

You do need to add a device in order to send a command to it...
