Title: [REMOTE CONTROL] Restart Miner by hardware from anywhere in the world!
Post by: Mr.Argful on January 18, 2018, 08:51:46 AM
Hello guys,

so here is a short explanation in which problems i ran, trying to make my miner stable and restart remotely.

You miner will freeze from time to time. Means the whole OS freezes and therefore scripts can't restart your computer.
The only way to make it restart it to reset the whole system by hardware (ON/OFF or RESTART Button on your miner).
Furthermore, you can not start or restart your miner by "WAKE ON LAN" because if it is frozen, it cant receive the "magic pakets"

Basically there is a way to bypass this, but it will probably kill your PSU or hardware after some time. I will explain it short, and then
i tell the waaaay better and more safe / professionel method.
Unsafe: get a Wifi Switch for your power plug, and plug the PSU into the remote wifi power plug. Go to your bios and change the
behavior of your board with POWER LOSS. It's something like "if return from power loss -> state: ON"
This will let your mainboard boot every time when power returns from mains. So you can remotely turn on and off your miner.
This method is not healthy for your hardware and psu as you always pretend to have a MAINS FAILURE.


Now i have developed a much better solution: 8)

With this solution, it will be possible to remotely bridge the pins on your MOBO which are responsible for ON/OFF or RESTART.
You will also get a mobile app which shows the status of everything. You can even make a schedule, you can just do everything with it!
With this method you can always restart your miner from ANYWEHERE IN THE WORLD even if it has freezed completely.
Just Press "ON" or "Restart" and the whole Rig will come back to life :)  :) :) :)
Especially when i was on holiday i lost much money because the miner stuck and couldnt restart its self.

My solution comes with 2 jumper cables, which just need to be plugged onto the pins. The jumper cables (15cm long) are mounted into the switch
which is wifi remotable and can be installed directly on your miner.

For the whole solution i'm asking for 20€, shipping world wide.
You will receive everything ready to plug in + mobile app.

There is no such product in the internet, so i had to invent my own solution. I think the price is fair - 1 day not mining is much more expensive  ;)

For any questions, just post them here!
