Suggested recipe for letting the `turn_off` script suspend a Linux computer (the **target**)
from Home Assistant running on another Linux computer (the **server**).
-1. On the **server**, log in as the user account Home Assistant is running under. (I'm using `hass` in this example)
-2. On the **server**, create ssh keys by running `ssh-keygen`. Just press enter on all questions.
-3. On the **target**, create a new account that Home Assistant can ssh into: `sudo adduser hass`. Just press enter on all questions except password. I recommend using the same user name as on the server. If you do, you can leave out `hass@` in the ssh commands below.
-4. On the **server**, transfer your public ssh key by `ssh-copy-id hass@TARGET` where TARGET is your target machine's name or IP address. Enter the password you created in step 3.

-6. On the **target**, we need to let the hass user execute the program needed to suspend/shut down the target computer. I'm using `pm-suspend`, use `poweroff` to turn off the computer. First, get the full path: `which pm-suspend`. On my system, this is `/usr/sbin/pm-suspend`.

Add this line last in the file: `hass ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/pm-suspend`, where you replace `hass` with the name of your user on the target, if different, and `/usr/sbin/pm-suspend` with the command of your choice, if different.
