I've seen quite a few posts where people are controlling their farms remotely, often 10s or 100s of miles away, asking about automating reboots, cycling power with automated timers, etc. And sometimes miners just lock up hard, and there's nothing to do but flip the power switch.
It occurs to me the ideal solution would be computer/remote/network controlled relay switches, allowing you to power-cycle your miners from anywhere you please.
I've done some research on solenoids, solid-state optical relays, etc, that look like they could be pretty easily wired and driven from a serial port or even USB, however my EE skills are severely lacking. Something pre-packaged in a <$50 range would be ideal, but I'm not finding any 'consumer friendly' options. I'm willing to pull out the old soldering iron if I can find a good guide to follow, but time is precious.
Is anyone using such a thing they could recommend?
