In fact maybe just forget about the Mac Mini altogether. If the OS crashes (either Windows or OS X) then we won't be able to remote in and issue a restart or shutdown command.Īll I'm looking for here is if the relay shield I specified in the first post is the best way to go to interface with the power button cables. We need to be able to control the power state independent of the OS. You could telnet to them and tell them to restart, shutdown or whatever.Ī possibility given that the Mac Mini will always be on and functioning normally, which will not be guaranteed. Since the Mac mini's are based upon unix machines. We need the ability to restart and shutdown as well. Yes, I already mentioned WOL in my original post and specified there that it is not sufficient for our needs. Look at "wake for network access" on the energy saver preferences pane, and google wake on LAN for a tool to send the magic packet to your mac(s). Most Macs will accept wake on LAN (WoL) if so configured. I just need to get this rudimentary LOM functionality working. The decision has already been made and is not up to me. The entry model starts at 799 and only comes with the Mac mini. We need to be able to run both Windows and OS X, hence the need for Apple hardware. Follow the troubleshooting steps for your device below 2025b2 remote codes The Netflix. I know the geek in you screams to do it the "cool way," but long term, it would probably be a bad idea. It is the right thing to do for your business.

Unless there is some software that is OSX specific, this really comes down to a business decision.ĭo yourself a favor and just by the PC hardware with the LOM. Seeing as this is my first experience with Arduino I'm looking for advice on whether that relay shield is the way to go or if there is a better solution out there.

I'm guessing I would need to alter Blake's code a bit to get it working with this different hardware. Having 4 relays will also allow us to control some other devices that we are considering adding into this project. Since we may end up deploying several hundred of these I want to avoid soldering as much as possible to ease the assembly process, hence the relay shield listed above. Here are the main parts I am looking to order to start testing with: I stumbled upon this project that does exactly what we are looking to do: Blake's Conflabatorium | Remote PC Startup System The best solution for what we want to accomplish is to have an ethernet controlled device that directly interfaces with the Mac Mini power button cable.

We then considered an ethernet controlled powerstrip, but after some testing with the Mac Mini we realized that you can't configure it to automatically power on when AC power is restored if Mac OS gracefully shuts down the system first. WOL is not an option because it does not give us the ability to shut the machine down. Unfortunately Apple does not have any LOM (lights out management) capability in their products. The PCs had no problem with this task because they all had Intel AMT integrated into their motherboards and we could restart the PC even if Windows blue screened.

We want to be able to have full remote control over these computers, so that means the ability to remotely power on or shut off the computer via the network completely independent of the OS.

#BEST REMOTE FOR MAC MINI TRIAL#

We have a similar deployment for our trial run that we used PCs for. My organization is currently looking to deploy Mac Minis in dozens of different areas. I used to have to do this regularly on some Mac boxes, but haven't had to in a few years (although, I also don't connect directly with a VNC client anymore either).īTW - I believe that the VNC password is for screen zero.Just looking for some general advice here on the project I'm about to start. I'd suggest also opening up SSH access to the box while you're in the Sharing prefs in System Preferences as you can simply kill the aforementioned AppleVNCServer process if it crashes and you have trouble connecting. You can then use any VNC Client on Windows to control it.
