Title: Rig Reset Tool - RIGCOVER
Post by: Gazos on February 10, 2018, 11:08:06 PM

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to gauge level of interest in a custom tool I have built. It's essentially a recovery device for when your mining rig locks up or you somehow lose access and you don't have immediate physical access to the rig and require the motherboard resetting or powering down then up.

Features:

Connects directly to the power/reset and led pins of an ATX motherboard
Remotely (wifi) Power Up Mining Rig
Remotely (wifi) Power Down Mining Rig
Remotely (wifi) Force Shutdown Mining Rig
Remotely (wifi) Reset Mining Rig
Remotely (wifi) monitor uptime
Web UI
Manual override switch allowing local physical access

Future Features

User authentication
MQTT Support

It's currently based on a NodeMCU, initially I will be selling these for £20/$28 each possibly lower depending on hardware cost.

I'll upload a picture of the hardware later.

Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

I don't mean to rain on your idea but there are already a couple other options out there cheaper.

Smos has a rig resetter less than $200 and supports 8 gpu
Ethmonitoring.com has one for $120, supports 8 gpu and interfaces directly into the ethmonitoring.com ecosystem. Has auto reboot.

Your device might be OK for people who only have a couple of rigs though!

Ok, so if I drop the LED monitoring support (Uptime) and monitor via IP then it would be possible to control 9x rigs using this device.

The NodeMCU supports 9x digital input pins D0-D8 so essential allowing 9 rigs to be controlled.

These devices would be controlled over local wifi or remotely via nat/pat.

I may also develop a NodeRed RaspberryPi type controller to monitor and control a bunch of these devices from one web interface.

Naming
Monitoring
Auto Reboot (if your wifi is stable enough)
Grouping

Would be pretty easy to implement too
