Hey Steam Deck community. I’m hoping that I can get some help from the community.

  1. Is it possible to unlock my Windows PC remotely? I currently run Home Assistant, and have WOL setup so I can easily wake it, but without logging in, I can’t stream to my Steam Deck. Is there any way around that? I am not willing to remove the login password from my PC. This is the main thing I want to solve.

  2. Should stream via Steam or is there a better option? Moonlight?

  3. When you stop streaming from the deck, what happens to the game on the PC? Does it stop running?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: no idea how to format... I tried
