Thanks for your feedback. I looked into this recently and it could possibly be supported, but it's a bit high risk to make these changes over the web interface.

The reason is the quite bad design of how Antminers apply web related settings and it's not possible to modify only a single setting. It's not even a one-to-one mapping between the settings you can read from the Antminer and the name of all the parameters you need to set if you want to change one single property. It's also different depending on firmware version and probably some differences between the Antminer models as well. The bottom line is that it will probably be possible to find out how to do this on a specific firmware version of S9, but it will not be a general feature with great compatibility.

Is this the error message you get when the mining software failed and you selected to run Diagnostics? That should be supported in the latest development version 6.4.4.

Can you please let me know if you run version 6.4.2 or 6.4.4? If you run 6.4.4, is this for a user defined Managed Software?

Hi Sam,
The most recent Antminers like Z11 doesn't support SSH and Privileged API access by default. This is a decision from Bitmain and there are quite a number of users upset about these limitations.

One solution is to use the updated Z11 firmware released by @efudd here on BitcoinTalk:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5036968.msg50664518#msg50664518

With this firmware you will get SSH access and Awesome Miner will be able to set Privileged API access on your Antminer. This will also make it possible to run the profit switcher with the Antminer.

Although Awesome Miner do support configuration of the three default pools via the Antminer web interface, this is not supported by the profit switching feature. The reason is that a change of default pools requires a restart of the mining process and mining time will be lost.

To get access to development versions, open the Options dialog in Awesome Miner. In the General section, enable Check for development versions. Then go to the Menu and click Check for updates.

I will make an update to the next release to include Additional Power if the trigger is configured to look at the entire miner power usage. I will also make another small change that might improve the speed a bit, but I cannot tell if it will improve in your scenario as well.

The trigger should be able to fire from the point where you start to see the GPU's in the GPU tab. How fast the GPU's show up here will depend on how fast the API of the mining software is to start up - for some mining software it takes a little longer time.

It's supposed to be more or less instant, but it will not trigger until the API to the mining software is connected. I do get this power trigger to fire in 10 - 20 seconds from when the miner is started.

The Additional Power is however not added. Can you see if you get the trigger to run correctly with this in mind? Thanks!

I just wanted to give an update on this. Your observations were correct when mixing TCC and WDDM GPU's and looking at the reported Power Usage. A correction will be implemented in the next release.

Can you please send me log file via the toolbar Tools -> Log File menu. If you use Remote Agent, please provide the Remote Agent log file, otherwise the Awesome Miner log file. Please send via mail or link in PM. Thanks!

Can you also check if "IntelliBreeze Software Maintenance Service" is running in the Windows Services dialog? You can access it via Start menu ->Run: services.msc

The device order is based on the order returned by the GPU drivers. I can include PCI Bus ID in the next update.

The plan is also to improve the entire concept of GPU mapping as there are a number of cases where Awesome Miner actually would be able figure this out for you.

Thanks for the details. I will try to reproduce this with a P104 in combination with GTX1000 or RTX2000 series.

This applies to when you use Awesome Miner for making overclocking operations. The latest nVidia drivers requires Administrator privileges to apply some of the overclocking operations like Power Limit and Temperature Limit. The solution right now is to change to this Administrator mode in Awesome Miner to make it work with the latest drivers.

In the future, this will be the only mode for Native Overclocking.

Thanks for the nice feedback - I'm glad you like the software.

You can use Clocking Groups where you define that cards matching "1080" should have one profile and cards matching "2080" should have another profile. You can create the Clocking Groups in the Options dialog, GPU Clocking Profiles section. For more details, see also:
https://support.awesomeminer.com/support/solutions/articles/35000086015-gpu-overclocking

I will also try to improve the GPU mapping and hopefully do it more automatic in the future. If you use nVidia - one way to get more predicatble order between different mining software is to enable the setting "Force nVidia CUDA mining software to order devices by PCI Bus ID" in the Options dialog, GPU Settings dialog.

Is the issue that the power usage here doesn't match the total power usage in the miner list - for one of the miners? Where these screenshots matching the two first miners in your previous lists?

The only scenario I can think of where the numbers can be different is if you have a Profit Profile, where the "Power and cost" section for the profile is configured with a value for additional power usage.

Hi,
If you select one of these miners and look at the bottom part of the screen, you will see the GPU tab. On the GPU tab you will all GPU's listed for the selected miners. For each of the GPU's you will also see the power usage.

By comparing this list of GPU's between your two miners it should be possible to find out the power usage reported for each GPU. You can also see if the "Map to system monitoring" is enabled.

Can you please share two screenshots from the GPU tab, one for each of these two miners that are idential? Thanks!

Hi - yes, I will add this additonal property to the existing API method. I assume it's fine with only the effective value of Exp Factor? So you get either the Default or the overridden value depending on which one is selected.

Nice progress with Excel!

Hi,

With fan control, is the a fan/temperature curve you are referring to here? For example that you define 50C -> 40% fan, 60C -> 65% fan, 70C -> 87% fan and so on?

Installing Remote Agent on HiveOS should work fine, I think there are a number of users running this combination and would probably be my recommendation if you want to get started fast. Did you get any specific error messages?

The automatic download feature is currently favoring the CUDA10 miners in most cases. Although you manually can point to a different version, I do have plans to make it easier to make this selection in Awesome Miner. The goal is to be able to say that you favor CUDA 9.2 and then Awesome Miner will automatically download those versions where available.

There are currently no plans to have a complete mining OS in the near future.

Hi
I assume the first two miners in this case are mining the same algorithm with the same number of GPU's. Can you please check the GPU tab for both these miners to see what the difference is for each GPU? Also make sure you have "Map to system monitoring" enabled for both miners.
