Docking station with powerbutton

[Haso4]

Hi,

I wanted to use my mbp m1 in clamshell mode with a vertical stand. I shut my mbp completely off so no sleep because sometimes I don’t use it for several weeks. I wanted to use it with lid closed and make it boot when it’s charged but that doesn’t work as it seems.

So I wanted to ask if there are any dockingstations with a power button which can help me turn on my mbp without opening the lid?

I can't answer that question, but I think probably not.
A dock is a peripheral device that is controlled by a Host - your computer.

Apple considers if you could turn on a computer remotely that would be a huge security issue.
If it has been completely shut down, there is no way to turn it on remotely.

Except in one circumstance - which won't help you at all...
