Folding power automation

[JackAshwell]

So this is kinda a weird question, but is there any way to have the folding power on low while I'm working, but when I become idle, it automatically changes to full power?

Thanks!

You may have to write your own or adapt someone else's solution.

That said, the client process can be accessed using telnet on the local IP 127.0.0.1 over port 36330. Scripts can be written that pause, start, and change the power settings. Some were submitted to the forum a few years ago by several person who were trying to do similar things to what you are looking for.

There is also an API published on Github for doing the same kind of controls and monitoring. Not many person have used them to create their own apps, but it is possible.

Do you have a link to their scripts?

[Joe_H]

Not at the moment, if I get a chance will take a look. Or perhaps someone who remembers them will come by and post a link.

Sounds like an interesting project, I might look into that.

I will probably base it on this https://github.com/FoldingAtHome/fah-control
