Re: Can I turn ON and/or OFF my hotspot remotely?
Thanks Tmo chris… you've sparked some ideas. AS long as the hotspot doesn't use data when it's not connected that would be great to just switch on the equipment that connects to the hotspot. But on another note, I know for a fact that as long as the switch on the hotspot is turned ON, and the Wi-Fi has been set to on in the hotspot, I could set a remote switch, or timer switch to turn on the power to all the devices, including the HotSpot. Simple! Now I may research on setting up a cell phone activated switch as opposed to a timer. Maybe even both, so I can even turn the timer on and off. WOW, you have my brain spinning now. Thanks Guys! But let's not stop just yet! I'm sure other people have some other creative ideas to add.4Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Can I turn ON and/or OFF my hotspot remotely?
Thanks barcodeable, for your suggestions…I like # 2, except that we have lots of red squirrels up there that I'm sure with a little bait we can get them to push a button that turns everything on. The monkeys couldn't survive the cold in northwestern Michigan. ( we also have Bear, Coyotes, Wild Turkeys, & Deer) hum…lol Your #1 suggestion, is brilliant! I think I'll try that next time I get to the Cabin. However, I'm not sure how this will work since my HotSpot is always on until the battery runs out of juice, and the charger must kick on. I can't remove the battery without breaking the case open. (it's sealed in) I checked out You Tube, for people that used an old cell phone to activate a switch, I could see some potential here,also; but I figured that since these HotSpots have their own phone numbers, they could be programmed to turn on when you call that number,and/or enter a passcode.( like retrieving messages remotely on an answering machine at home). I also have a switch in the top on my hotspot, I could probably break the case open and solder some wires to the switch, and hook them to a cell phone activated switch. But the software solution seems to be the simplest, if the manufacture would ever consider adding that feature to the hotspot. Lets see what other people think, before I dig in to my Hotspot.

I need this hotspot to allow me to moniter my cabin 300 miles away. I get a good connection from the cell phone tower in view from my cabin. I would like to be able to turn it on when I need to access what ever I have connected to the Wi-Fi .And then turn it. off3.9KViews0likes13Comentarios
