# powercontrol
PC power/reset controller built around a Raspberry Pi, a relay board, and a Vue/Capacitor client.
It can also send serial key presses to the motherboard so the app can select the next GRUB entry before boot.
## How It Works
The server is a small Express API running on the Raspberry Pi. It controls GPIO pins connected to a relay board for power and reset, and it can also write HID key presses to `/dev/hidg0` to drive the GRUB menu before the PC starts.
The client is a Vue 3 + Capacitor app that discovers the server, stores connection details locally, and exposes actions such as power, reset, reboot, next-boot selection, and host online status.
In practice the hardware chain is:
`motherboard front-panel pins <-> relay board <-> Raspberry Pi <-> client app`
## Quick start
1. Copy `server/config.example.json` to `server/config.json`.
2. Adjust the GPIO pins, `host_ip`, and `token`.
3. Start the server with `cd server && npm install && npm run dev`.
4. Start the client with `cd client && npm install && npm run dev`.
## Android build
```bash
cd client
npm run android
```
## Config Notes
- `shutdownTime` controls the delay used for reboot-style flows.
- `menuTime` controls when GRUB key presses are sent.
- `nextboot` is the boot-menu key sequence to send.
- Authentication is a single shared bearer token.
