Whatsminer tool has remote control functions, one of them is (Suspend/Resume) mining, so that is somewhere to start from, also, if you don't use the latest firmware for the M20s you can still access the miner via SSH, so you can run a script to suspend and resume.



If that doesn't work out, you can always use something like "Sonoff Basic Smart Remote Control Wifi Switch" that controls a contactor that controls the miner power input, these smart plugs come with their own applications which you can shutdown/turnon from anywhere or set a timer for them, they switch costs about 3-5$ and the contactor is probably in the $15 range, not a very expensive project if the software road turns out to be a little bumpy.
