Hi.
I had another thought along these lines. would it be possible to add support for turning on these wifi activated power switches to turn an ASIC miner on after sun up(for solar users), or during a cheap power period(like this user has) and then off again as needed?
i guess this could be done with a C# script... so to set the asic miner as enabled, then turn the power switch on.
anyone done this?
Hi,
As I don't have too much experience in this area I will only to be able to give a general answer form an Awesome Miner point of view, but hopefully someone else with more experience in this field can give additional details.
There are some power switches that can be controlled via HTTP requests and there are some that requires an command line application to be executed that will send the command to the power plug/switch. I do know that there are a number of users that uses Awesome Miner to interact with different kinds of smart plugs/switches.
From an Awesome Miner point of view you can define your own rules (Options dialog, Rules section) and add them to the Action toolbar button, where you can either have actions to send HTTP requests (Webhook action) or to run an executable. You can also use the rules to schedule these operations to run at a specific time if needed.
