About:
Sispmctl is a command-line utility designed to control Gembird SIS-PM programmable power outlet strips via USB. It allows users to switch individual sockets on or off, monitor power status, and read energy consumption data. This tool is essential for managing power to remote devices, enabling automation of system reboots or peripheral power management.
Key Features:
  • Control individual power outlets via CLI
  • Read current power consumption and voltage
  • Support for multiple connected devices
  • Scriptable for automation tasks
Use Cases:
  • Automated remote reboot of unresponsive network equipment
  • Powering down peripherals to save energy when not in use
  • Monitoring power usage of connected devices
Alternatives:
  • apcupsd – Focuses on APC UPS units rather than programmable outlet strips.
  • nut (Network UPS Tools) – Broader support for UPS devices, but less specific for simple USB outlet strips.
