Hello.
I have remote PCs which occasionally shut down. I have remote power socket switches but depending on the reason the PC shutdown turning the power socket off-on doesn't always work.
So I was thinking of creating a momentary push-to-make switch which connect to either the reboot or On-Off pins on the motherboard.
If I know the IP address, but know very little about Arduino, can someone direct me to any project examples which either match or can be adapted to this use please?
Thanks
The simplest solution is to use another remote power socket switch to turn on a power supply that powers a solenoid actuator that presses the reset button. No Arduino required.
An Arduino could do the same thing, but you'll just be replicating the functionality already provided by the remote power socket switch.
Thanks.. Going to try out some very cheap IP relay switches from Aliexpress. Failing that will try solenoids.
