  TeamViewer will do that. I use it to view and maintain my weather station PC and can reboot it remotely on or off the network.

  I use tightVNC, haven't tried the android application for it though. I'd imagine there's some sort of way through its IP though like on cmd (as admin) maybe shutdown -m \ip though I haven't tried it.

  Create a text file and type "shutdown -s -t 3600" and save it as a .bat file. Every time you double click on the file it will shutdown in 3600 seconds (1hr). That value is configurable.

    That would shut the computer down after a set delay, but the .bat file still needs to be triggered which would require desktop access.

      Yes, if you are usually asleep by 11:30pm delay it to shutdown at midnight.

  Any RDP software or Teamviewer will allow you to do that, personally I use the Microsoft RDP app from the play store but there are a bunch of others.

  I use a mac, so I am not sure if this is possible with windows.

  Can you run an SSH server? The use something like JuiceSSH to remotely log in and send the shutdown command.

  This is how I manage my Mac which hosts our Plex and NAS.

  The mac command via an ssh session in terminal is $ sudo shutdown -h now

  The 'now' part is time and can be changed.

  Seems like SSH is possible

    SSH is totally possible but that command you've listed will only work for Linux / Unix machines.

  I actually use Google Remote Desktop, I run a plex server myself and use reomte desktop to log in, dl movie files - which then automatically update into plex.

  Android App (Free) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.chr…

  Install the Google Remote Desktop for setup on your pc - https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/1649523?co=GENIE.Pl…

  You can do everything from there, you basically run your computer from your phone. The UI is pretty good on all devices - I use it on a Samsung galaxy s7, Ipad Air etc.
