Remote control of PC power supply (turn on/off/restart)
Wireless remote control for PC power
This project is based on ESP8266 and provides web interface controlling PC power supply.
The hardware is connected to standard ATX power/reset buttons and power/activity LEDs in parallel (the existing functionality of switches and LEDs is retained).
See hardware/ for schematics and hardware connections.
See firmware/ for the firmware and web interface which runs on ESP8266.
Pre-built binaries and flashing instructions are available in
firmware/prebuilt-binaries.
Web interface
Web interface can be accessed on both AP and station interfaces. Default IP address for AP mode is 192.168.4.1.
Password is sent as GET parameter (yes, I know, that's not how it should be done):
http://192.168.4.1/?auth=authpasskey
Known limitations
This project is in works-for-me stage of prototype. More likely than not, it
will reset your computer in the least-convenient time. Consider yourself
warned!
- PC is reset when ESP is rebooted (including firmware update!)
- OTA firmware update support is work-in-progress,
- Authentication is really dumb (password provided by GET parameter).
