Schedule Mining of a Bitaxe

How could mining with a Bitaxe on a schedule e.g. only certain hours of a day be achieved?

Ideas: Bitaxe API, cut Wifi, cut power...

buy a timer switch from homedepot and plug the bitaxe into it

Yes, I thought about that as well. However some electronics may be sensitive to frequent power cuts. I do not know how sensitive a Bitaxe is in this concern.

Cron job to call the bitaxe api might be the cleanest?

With the PATCH endpoint the frequency of the chip could be throttled. Maybe that's the way forward. I have to try it out.

Yeah, but unfortunately there is no stop or start endpoint in here: https://osmu.wiki/bitaxe/api/

just crank the frequency param down to 0 (or super low like 100MHz). Boom, hash rate drops to zilch, mining pauses like it's napping. Flip it back to your sweet spot (say, 588 for Gamma) when you're ready to roll again..
