Awesome Miner doesn't have this feature right now, becuase the software was originally not optimized for small scale mining on a single gaming computer where you want to start and stop the mining depending on computer use. This is a feature that could be supported, so I will make a note of this request and add it in future versions.
I would love this feature as well - I use AM for a larger mining operation at my business as well as on my home gaming PC's to mine in their free time, there is no easy way to get the PC to STOP mining using Scheduled Tasks (starting is easy), so having this built-in would be a godsend.
I have a question. I cannot seem to find any options for idle detection. I know this is normally for dedicated rigs, but there is a lack of options outside of NH's own miner and their fees are pretty high.

There used to be CGWatcher but has since gone out of development. I think it would add greatly to the visibility of your product. Thank you for replying!
Do you only need the idle feature to work on the Awesome Miner main computer, or also on the remote computers? What I can investigate is to add a new rule trigger for this. It could trigger when you have been idle for X number of minutes and another when you get back after being idle. With this trigger it would then be possible to do any action you want... for example start or stop a miner.
Would that solve your scenarios?
