There are some tools out there, this looks neat > https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5257764.20
Or, use AwoseomeMiner, it has a scheduling function and you can do just about anything with it, with that said, if your miners are SSH locked then it will be a bit hard to do, you may end up using custom firmware.
Topic: Work Mode / Sleep Scheduling (Read 60 times)
I am looking for a solution to schedule power mode changes automatically, for example every Thursday, Friday & Saturday a selection of miners goes into sleep mode from 6pm - 4am.
The reason is that at one of my small farms, the amount of available power will be reduced during certain times while other machinery is running. So rather than removing miners completely, and as they have already more than ROI'd it will be most cost effective to run them part-time (rather than sell on). But, I don't want to have to manually log in and do it on each GUI and physically switching them off is not an option (as may get forgotten).
Is there a way to do this and if so, how? I have considered using relays / contactors / timer to physically turn the miners on and off, but I'm not sure this would be good for the miner itself as obviously they are not designed to be turned on and off a lot.
