WiFi capable power controller such as the LPC PRO, EPCR 5/6/7, DIN4, DC3, 222 or ISO32

| 1 | WOL_after_switch_on.lua | Send Wake-On-LAN to a PC after switch 1 is turned on |
| 2 | Control_temperature_with_fans.lua | Older version to turn on fans if the temperature exceeds a defined maximum. Keep them on until
it's below a defined temperature. This example check every x seconds Change the limits as desired. |
| 2 | Monitor_temperature_for_fan_control.lua | Updated version to monitor temperature and turns fans on/off based on defined triggers of TEMP_TOO_HOT and TEMP_OKAY. This example uses an event trigger available in firmware 1.8.x.0 and higher. |
| 3 | Reverse cycle.lua | Turn an outlet or relay on then off. This is designed for use as an autoping action, usually in a DIN relay. |
| 3 | Autoping - reboot router & modem | Reboot the modem and/or router as needed as an autoping action. *Thanks to Eric C. for providing this sample. |
| 4 | Notify of network reboot.lua | Reboots modem and router, then sends a notification that the network devices were rebooted. This script has a limitation that if autoping completely fails and is disabled, the notification will not be sent until it is re-enabled. |
| 5 | Mike's_autoping_failure_with_notify.lua | Power cycles the router and modem and will wait and send a notification after the network is restored. This is a more sophisticated version of the above and will work even with extended outages. (Updated 10-22-23) |
| 6 | Monitor critical outlets.lua | Monitor critical outlets so that if accidentally turned off, they will be turned back on automatically. |
| 7 | Log_Temp_and_Humidity.lua | Log the temperature and humidity every 2 hours. |
| 8 | Astronomy_Sun.lua | Initiate actions based on sunrise/sunset or dawn/dusk. (Requires firmware 1.11.8.0 or higher) |
| 9 | Countdown.lua | This script periodically toggles the outlets while displaying a running countdown to the next
toggle. *Special thanks to Mike Gut for offering it here. |
| 10 | re-enable_autoping.lua | This script periodically re-enables all autoping targets in the case of a prolonged ISP failure where autoping becomes disabled. |
| 11 | monitor_public_ip_and_notify.lua | Monitor the public IP address and send a notification if it has changed. |
| 12 | turn_outlet_off_after_defined_time.lua | Monitor an outlet and turn it off after a defined amount of time. |
