Does Braiins support voltage / frequency control via API? I am looking for a fully automated setup that is scaling up and down according to solar power availability. To consume as little grid power as possible while running at max when sun is shining  Grin

Wondering if Braiins might be able do this job, since stock firmware's miner API does not seem to allow that on a S9/T9, even on older firmwares.

The focus of Braiins OS+ is automated efficiency (its not about blind speed). Rather than changing speeds and voltages, what you change is the power limit and let the algorithm do the rest. In fact, you want to change the power usage and not mess with anything else and that's exactly what power limit is for. You are specifying watts the miner is allowed to use and let it sort out the rest as efficiently as possible.

The API documentation is here: https://docs.braiins.com/os/plus-en/Development/1_api.html

You could just swap the power limit and restart bosminer via ssh, schedule (crontab), or some custom script. Ask me on the telegram group if you need help with getting a script to change the power limit at specified times of the day.



Anyways, I have a question regarding BOS installation. Long story short, I tried installing them for my friend and he gave me the wrong password which is required to install BOS. Now I get this message in Command prompt:
ERROR:Auth credentials for host on ***.***.*.*** are wrong

What might be the solution now that I know the right password of these miners?

With the toolbox you use a command like this:

bos-toolbox install -p password 10.10.10.10

Typical password for stock firmware is either root or admin. It may be something else if this was changed. Else you can use the sd card if the password is unknown.

I tried bos-toolbox install -p password 10.10.10.10 but I get this error:

Do you maybe know what causes this error?
