Remote power control

[SpyderChiken]

I'm looking for a good way to power cycle my server remotely. I recently did a reset from the dashboard in Unraid only to have the pc go offline completely. Now I'm stuck waiting until I get home to finish what I was working on which means not making use of the time when no one is home using said device. I know I could wake on lan but that only helps turning it on not turning it off.

I like products from Digital Loggers. They make high quality switched PDUs with stable firmware for a surprising price when comparing to other options. Lots of options on ways to trigger the ports to turn off, cycle with a predefined interval, etc.

Check out PiKVM!

Wake on lan was so unreliable for me. I bought an arduino nano, a set of 3v relays, and some simple wire to make my connections. It solved all my problems.

Both data logggers and PiKVM are quite expensive. I was looking for something less than $100. The Arduino may be an option but I'm looking for something simple at this point not because I can't make it work but because I don't want to.

I like Delock products, this one is in use via LAN (wifi), Tasmota firmware, I use it without cloud:

Not sure why I didn't think of it before but one of these and setting the bios to turn on when power is available will achieve what I'm after thanks.
