Sometimes rigs just plain lock up or otherwise stop mining. Most of the time this is detectable in AM. I'd like to implement some kind of hardware-based physical cycling of power on a rig based on AM notifications/rules. Does anyone have recommendations on what to use to achieve this? I'm assuming AM is capable of this, even if it requires C# coding. I haven't gotten that far yet. The alternative is some kind of local heartbeat monitoring outside of AM. This may make more sense anyway in case AM is down, etc.
You might try a USB Watchdog Timer. Something like:
