Still in my quest for a remote-maintenance solution.
I'm looking for a way to start & stop my rig remotely as well as measure its power consumption.
I figured the easiest would be via a smart plug. I do already own a Wemo Insight but I wouldn't call it reliable, mainly because its app sucks ass.
Is anyone using a solution they're happy with?

I use a Fibaro Smart Plug for each of my miners. I control them through HomeAssistant which I have installed on a RPi3 combined with a Aeotec Z-stick.

Probably best to define what your "rig" is. Because this is the Bitcoin area I am ASSuming you mean an ASIC miner. If that's the case then I would run a "smart" PDU, you can get them in several different variants that meter, switch, and a combination of the two.

I love the form factor and LED ring of the Fibaro Smart Plug! Not a fan of the Z Wave setup, though. Do you happen to know if the WiFi version works properly with an Android app?

So again, the placement of your post is important. But I am new and maybe I do not understand the rules ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I wasn't a fan of the Z-Wave "mania" either. But I am more than happy with HomeAssistant, it's fully customizeable to my needs. I have a couple of smoke and various other sensors that all integrate into HomeAssistant. EDIT: You can also connect the TP-Link to HomeAssistant, it supports all kind of devices, see https://home-assistant.io/components

Now, if we could stop the off topic and speak smart plugs...

I have a TP link HS110. It works, although I'm taking it back. I almost feel like both my asic and gpu rigs dont hash well when connected. It almost seems like the cords get warmer when running through it. I pulled 1200W's from a Avalon 741 on 110v through it. It works as advertised, but I dont think its a robust solution. I could see the thing go up in flames. IMO, I would go for a full blown managed PDU. My tplink is going back to fry's today.

I've been pretty happy with my Revogi smart strip
