An Intelligent Socket That Can Remotely Control the Normal Switching of Home Computers
So I was thinking, if only I had a device that could remotely control the startup and shutdown. With the recommendation of my friends, I learned a domestic remote control software - Sunflower remote control. Their home can not only realize remote control, but also launch hardware for remote boot. After a comprehensive comparison of their hardware, I chose their sunflower smart socket.
Some people may say that just get a smart socket. Why do you have to use sunflowers? This is different. I have several smart sockets in my home, which are used to control ordinary lights or other devices. But computers are different. They are not ordinary household appliances. For example, if you use an ordinary smart socket and suddenly lose power, the abnormal shutdown of the computer may cause damage to the computer hardware and software. This problem is not a small thing. If the computer can not start, or damage the hard disk and other hardware, the gain is not worth the loss.
Then, this intelligent remote control socket of sunflower is different. According to the introduction, it is a non forced shutdown. It turns off the host slowly, cuts off the power supply after 2 minutes, and controls it in the app. It does no harm to the computer host. Although I suddenly seem a little confused about the principle of this implementation, I don't quite understand it, but there should be no problem with the implementation. There's no problem shutting down, so what's the main startup function I care about? Do you need other additional conditions, such as what network wake-up does the motherboard support?
The answer is no, just the motherboard supports AC recovery. What the hell is this? After a look, it is actually a function of the motherboard. If you call again after power failure, you can set and select what operation the motherboard performs. For example, my motherboard is the b360 terminator. I found such a setting in the BIOS.
It is written here that the power loss reply is what the system will do when the power supply is powered off and calls again. Here are several options, such as power on, power off and the last state. See here, I understand that by using the setting of incoming call auto start, you can turn on the smart socket automatically and turn on the computer automatically. Therefore, you can use this smart socket by looking at whether there are similar settings in the motherboard. Now the computer is developing rapidly. This function should be a standing item in many computers. However, if you are interested, you'd better go into the BIOS to see if there are these functions.
In fact, it is not only automatic startup, but also can be set to start at any time through the app. This is the function in the publicity video of the flagship store. So automatic startup is really convenient. Now smart phones are so common that various functions can be realized with app. For example, for some game lovers, when they encounter new services or new game opening services, they often encounter queuing, so it is a good way to set up the computer at home to start queuing in advance.
This socket is very small, the size is 58x48x49mm, not at all. Therefore, whether it is inserted into the wall or socket, it will not affect the original layout and occupation, which is undoubtedly convenient. In terms of product quality, tin phosphorus bronze is selected, which belongs to a better material in the socket, ensuring the safety of the socket.
In general, this small smart socket can make the computer shut down normally and slowly, rather than abnormally forced power off, which can well ensure the safety of the computer; It can realize remote startup without the motherboard supporting network wake-up function, but makes use of the motherboard setting, which is more reliable and widely used. App can be controlled remotely and customized to adapt to a variety of different application scenarios, which seems to be very suitable.
