Why was “Bitcoin Miners with Braiins OS” added to OpenEMS and what is the purpose of this new component?
This new Bundle allows connection to Bitcoin Miners that run the Braiins OS operating system. This way OpenEMS
- can control - pause/resume - bitcoin mining via direct API calls
- can handle a time schedule when bitcoin mining should be active
- can read the power consumption and visualize it in Live and History
- can - given a time schedule is existing - plan the future power consumption from bitcoin mining

We also plan to release this as a free (DIY) FEMS App for FENECON customers.
