Situation

We want to make it very easy for people to power manage their devices & do pxe boot.

todo

find right zigbee adaptor e.g. link
find right boot device (great candidates):
- glnet, there is version 3 coming, runs openwrt so all flexibility, only 2 x 2.5 gbit/sec port
- routeros based ones, have great HW and ca natively do 2.5 gbit/sec on multiple ports
find right zigbee usb stick which works on routeros/openwrt (lets try both)
do the research to make some scripts e.g. bash, vsh ... to see how to controll/install the required
make vlang crystal lib script to configure the router, to trigger a power cycle, to change pxe boot (kristof can help)
configure tftp/pxe boot so we can define in which mode a computer boots
make a recovery pxe image, inspiration see hetzner, make sure we can install stuff on it, use a big ramdisk e.g. compile v, hero, easy for development purposes (works in hetzner), need to boot this over pxe
see if we can run hero directly on the gl-inet
see how to combine the gl-inet with routeros, this might be best approach, use gl-inet to do the tftboot, management of the routeros, ...
also check smalles gl-inet where it sill works

Requirements

super easy to get started (we install with a hero cmdline, once we have ethernet access to it)
cost effective < 60 USD per computer (all components if e.g. 4)
let it run on some nodes in ghent as well as in lab weynand (the fast computers)

research (alternative solutions)

there are devices like this one who can measure & power cycle, need to see how to control, but seems to go over bluetooth
