The invention relates to the remote activation, by a source device (SRC), of a receiving device (DEST) connected to the source device via at least one intermediate device (INT1), wherein said intermediate device and the receiving device are initially in standby mode and form a set of consecutive devices in a home network. To this end, at each intermediate device, a remote activation message (WoL), including a set of addresses (MAC(INT1), MAC(INTn)) of consecutive devices (INT1, INTn) within the series of devices, is received (10) and then retransmitted (30) to the following device in the series of consecutive devices using the set of addresses. When said remote activation message, retransmitted by the set of intermediate devices, is received by the receiving device, said receiving device is then activated (40). The invention also relates to the intermediate device for implementing said method, as well as to a home network including such an intermediate device. |
