Title: Auto stop s9 on no internet
Post by: skhan855 on November 04, 2017, 11:37:09 AM
Hi
Is it possible to shutdown s9 miner if there is no internet
Reason is it's consuming around 1KW even there is no internet which is waste of resource.

Feedback would be appriciated.

The miner is consuming power because of its fans, which are probably still spinning at full speed due to the internal temp. Once the chips start cooling off, the SoC controller should regulate the fans to a lower speed accordingly (and even go into an idle state iirc). I would hesitate to immediately shut-down the miner before letting it cool off. Try giving it a little while before checking the power consumption after the internet goes out. If your internet is always intermittent, then your solution probably lies in finding a better ISP. That's just my two cents.
