Hi,
Does anyone know how i can schedule my rigs turn ON & OFF automatically without actually buying a smart plug & cutting power to the rig?
I’m lookingt o start the two rigs at 8am & shut them at 2pm, this schedule would repeat daily.
Thank you,
Phill
Was this question ever answered?
Would love to have an answer to this. I want to shutdown mine from 3pm-8pm, then have them start back up.
So far, the 3pm shutdown works, but the 8pm restart does not work because I have to push the button on the MOBO.
Still waiting on answer
This can be done but you need to configure the start up part in the bios in power management. I was looking to do the same thing shutdown 4pm and restart 8pm . Hive OS will only let you shut down on a schedule. look at this for the example to configure startup in bios on bios.
I am doing this with wake on lan command, but they have to be all on the same network, or you need some raspberry to do the job for you.
I just got mine to work 
First, I have my rig pugged into a smart switch that can be scheduled to turn off and turn on when I want. Then I use the scheduler on HiveOS to shut down my rig 5 minutes before my smart switch turns off. Finally, I set my bios to boot when AC turns back on so that when the smart switch turns on the rig reboots just fine. Easy peasy!
P.S.
I realize that the OP said he didn’t want smart switches, but I figured that was because he didn’t want to damage his rig by cutting the power while the rig was running. With my process the rig is already shut down by the time the smart switch cuts the power and none of the electronics should be damaged. I’ve done this process manually without the scheduling for a year now and my rig is still solid.
