Hi All Got a media server in the loft (old low power computer running Freenas) I can use the admin webpage to close the server down but looking for a way to start it up without having to climb into the loft. Got some of those wireless sockets from ASda (3 for £5) so can use that to get it off standby.
Options for turning it on :
A) Little module to connect to the network with hardwired i/p address so I could somehow close a relay momentarily to start the server - like to be able to do this but need a fw pointers where to start (not got the right search terms for google as yet lol)
B) plug another of the asda sockets with a homemade timed relay plugged in connected to the server startup so I can use one wireless remote to power up the server
C) run bellwire down with a push button ....
can any elctronics enthusiasts help here .... can manage b) or C) but would like some pointers for A
