Yup works for the KP-125. I did a search on python script & kasa and found a project called python-kasa and installed it. Now all I need to do on the command line is pi@xxxxxx:~ $ kasa --plug --host 192.xxx.x.xxx on Turning on SmartPlug1 pi@xxxxxx:~ $ kasa --plug --host 192.xxx.x.xxx off...

Thanks @Thorrak and @LBussy , I did a search on python script & kasa and found a project called python-kasa and installed it. Now all I need to do on the command line is pi@xxxxxx:~ $ kasa --plug --host 192.xxx.x.xxx on Turning on SmartPlug1 pi@xxxxxx:~ $ kasa --plug --host 192.xxx.x.xxx off...

I picked up a KP-125 Kasa mini smart plug and was able to connect it to Wifi using a guest account as I don't want to rely on the cloud for remote access. I'd prefer to just be able to use my Remot3 to VNC into my Rpi that is also running my Fermentrack and use a command line direct to the Kasa...

Do you think I'd have the same problem of them coming back up after power failure faster than the modem/router and not reconnecting to wifi?

Yeah @Thorrak did post how the controller handles the late start up of WiFi but its still a problem. I'm think your smart plug suggestion might be the simplest way. I have my Rpi running Fermentrack connectivity so I can use the VNC link thru remot3 to access the local network and toggle a smart...

Here it is.

Is that circus log already existing? I don't see it in the /var/log directory.

I might have to clean up some old stuff on the list once I figure out if they are still used but the main ones are Fermentrack related I think. This is what I got: pi@brewpi:~ $ top top - 09:40:33 up 10:33, 2 users, load average: 1.95, 2.01, 1.99 Tasks: 179 total, 3 running, 123 sleeping...

Remotely accessing Fermentrack sluggish. What should the normal load averages be on a Rpi 3B+ be? When doing the "top" command I'm getting consistently over 1.0 often sometime over 2.

I guess in my case it is combination of not keeping up to date on what's out there and not wanting to mess with something that has been working fine. I just got another Rpi so I can get setup with more minis to use in my brewery once I open back up for the season. What you point out @LBussy...

Ok. I'm back in business I just dug out an image of the SD I and reflashed it. I'm pretty happy with Fermentrack's performance as it is so should I avoid updating it since I'm running Stretch with the 2.7 Python?

That went in the blink of an eye. But I've still got Python 2.7.13 is that because I'm on still on Stretch? Browser is not taking me to Fermentrack anymore tho. I think I ran into this before (a couple years ago)I'll do a search on my own posts.

I'll give it a go.

I'm doing " curl -L install.fermentrack.com | sudo bash " on a Rpi 3B+. I had a copy of my SD from another Rpi3 but screwed up the update, hence the reinstall. I don't know what Docker even is.

I'm doing fully automated re-install of Fermentrack on a new Rpi after I think I was too impatience on an update of the SD copy I had since it won't come up. But how much patience for a fresh install is required? It's been on "checking for setresgid....." for about 20 minutes now.
