Smart WIFI remote Power board ?

Ga'day .I have built myself a myself a small obsey and am chipping away at further refinements. Also I am new to NINA which I hope to automate the roll off roof with .

I would like NINA to end the final sequence by homing the mount, disconnect from all devices, and then turn off power to the mount and camera battery charger etc.. The first 2 are reasonably easy but I need a switch that NINA can talk to. 4 to 6 plug points would be great. Anyone know where to turn? There are American options but no good old 230v models that I can fined.

Admin Please move if inappropriate.

THX in advance.

We used to use power boards made by APC in datacentre racks. They were controlled (and monitored) via SNMP. I don’t remember any model numbers, though.

What Steffen said - power distribution boards from a data center rack would be ideal for this. They probably won't be cheap, though.
