This is the future for smaller miners. Not hobby miners but smaller miners.
You are doing well this way.
I like it if you are USA based maybe you buysolar and myself could have a long discussion to help each other. He may get panels at a better price then you can. Your software looks like it could help us.
I am going up to the new larger 300kwatt build out this weds. I will post photos here.
@ vosk BCI is a shit coin the entire net work is 10.11gh I am at 210mh or 1/50 of the network
I get 150 to 200 coins each week at very low cost. yeah coins are 20 cents but the upside for me is huge. I can mine them for a year and get 8000-10000 coins at about 10 cents each. so I spend 1000 in power for the year. if coins have 1 spike I score. my downside is they crash and delist. So I lose 1000 in power. I also hodl the grin.
But my money maker is the big farm up in clifton. that is BTC + LTC

Sadly no, I'm in Switzerland. I'm thinking of putting the code on github, it's really nothing fancy or particularly smart. Just some PHP with a bunch of functions, some switch/case code to make decisions and a small database. I run it with a cron job every 10 minutes.
All you need is a way to get your solar output (either the inverter has a network port or if it just has a serial port of some sort, hook up a pi to it with a wifi dongle) and some smart plugs to switch the rigs on and off. I use zwave, but really any dumb plug that can give you the rig's watt usage and that you can switch on/off remotely will do. To dumb it down with an example:
=> solar output is 1000W
=> Are there rigs online?
==>Yes: then take the sum of the watts of all the rigs that are running and substract it to the output. Is the difference positive?
===>Yes: then we have some available solar watts, is it enough to start the next rig in sequence xx?
=====> Yes: then start the rig
=====> no: then do nothing
===>No: then we are producing less than we are using so shut down a rig
==>No: then substract what the 1st rig (i.e. 600W) in the start sequence would use to the solar output. Is the difference positive?
====>Yes (1000-600 = 400): then start the first rig
====>No: then do nothing
Here's 4 of my rigs mining GRIN today, was nice and sunny
