So turning the smart plug on my phone on would start the computer. I use it for my backup server with a JBOD that is only turned on when I need it. You can also schedule on/off time on the app. And if you want to programmatically turn it on/off you can setup Home Assistant with the plug.
- theflyingkiwi42 3y agoIt's what we use for our simulator center computers. Works like a charm!
- fastasucan 3y agoThis is a really good solution for the problem, imo. How do you power off without cutting electricity completely? Or do you power off computer then the socket?
- y04nn 3y agoYes, turn off the computer like you would normally to it, then turn off the socket.
