Announcing upcoming BETA of MINERMEDIC, an open-source app written for the Phenome.AI platform (also having an upcoming BETA).

MinerMedic will monitor and manage your Miners and hardware infrastructure and will allow you to implement automation and remote sensors based on a variety of completely customizable triggers. It will also help you to automatically manage PROFITABILITY of your miners, shut them off when they are not profitable and turn them on when they are. This is REALLY important if you live in an area with high electricity prices!

This is not a CLOUD app, nor does it require agents on your miners. This is a standalone app that runs somewhere on your LAN and talks directly to the devices. You don't need a lot of firepower - we run it on Raspberry PIs. MinerMedic will be open-source and FREE to use.

Seeking BETA testers (and contributors!) We are hoping that folks will eventually add new support for unsupported Miners and Pools - we only have so many miners (and only so much time!) There is a list on the website. If you are interested in participating in the BETA (or contributing to the APP), please join the mailing list on the bottom of the website page. We will send out emails when the builds are ready and the code has been uploaded to GitHub.

Please visit our website to check out the current features and sign up!

Hope to see you soon!!

1st, Kudos for posting in the right area! So rare to see these days...

That said, at first glance looks interesting. Esp the part about linking to power cycling a miner ( I take using a commonly available RasPi add-on) and talking to PDU's that can accept remote power commands.

Thank you - lots of places to post, it's hard to find the right one. Happy I got it right!

Yes, it can power cycle based on using remote Miner commands (i.e. API calls or SSH into the box) - or talking to the PDU or SmartPlug. You can associate a SmartPDU or SmartPlug (or sensor objects, fans, chillers, whatever you want, etc) with a Miner or set of Miners, then tell the system to automatically do things based on your needs. The system understands the concept of models, objects, relationships, actions, etc. There is a general state machine that is followed (please see link to image below) - but it can be modified by using JSON configuration or code.

It will be interesting to see what people end up building with this - sky is the limit, really!

Thanks!

Hopefully you have looked at the CGminer API (written by Kano when he and -ck were still collaborating) https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/blob/master/API-README  No matter who makes the miner or what it mines, that API is the basis for virtually all miner coms with the outside world.

I'd like to see something that wasn't an app. Also something that doesn't require you to install anything on the miner.

Something that ran on a machine local to the miners network (either physically or via VPN). A machine I controlled. Web based so it was OS agnostic.

@Biffa, great! that is exactly what this is! It is separate from the miners and requires no agent to be installed on each miner. We run it on Rasp PIs (but you can run on any machine you like) - locally to our miners and run Hamachi right on the PI that allows us to access the web-based UI or REST-API remotely, as well as the other machines in the Mining Room, if needed.


@ NotFuzzyWarm - YES, thank you for mentioning that. We are aware of and following CGMINER. We have a modified class called pycgminer.py (originally by Thomas Sileo in 2013) that handles communication to some of the miners. We had to make some small changes to support different versions of Python, different port numbers and commands (for different miners), etc., but all that will be included and referenced in the source distribution.

This looks very cool! I am going to check this out over the long weekend.

Great! We just released source for the BETA a few days ago (btw Windows is not currently supported).
