I previously wrote an out-of-the-box sharing of sunflower intelligent remote control mouse. I have to say that with the entry of this product, the iPad has become a real productivity tool for me, not only able to remotely control the computer, but also to solve the annoying problem of carrying a notebook on a business trip.
But careful friends should think of a question, the computer is not turned on, how to remotely? To put it bluntly, on the outside, there is no way to control the computer that has been turned off at the company/home, and using other equipment to remotely control the company or the computer at home has become empty talk.
Part 1, 2 cups of milk tea to get the remote boot
In fact, with the development of the Internet today, it is no longer difficult to solve the problem of remote booting. For example, in order to solve this problem, I directly purchased the Sunflower C1 Pro power-on socket online. This is the one below

The stuff is not big, the packaging is also very simple, except for the socket there is only one instruction manual.
Considering that only one notebook needs to be powered on remotely, I bought the most basic version. Sunflower C1 Pro boot socket adopts two-phase and three-phase mixed socket layout, the advantage is to save space, can reduce the volume of the socket, the disadvantage is that the two-phase and three-phase plug can not be used at the same time.
The maximum current can withstand 10A, the maximum power is 2500W, the computer is completely enough, do not have to worry about tripping or something.
The Sunflower C1 Pro power-on socket is very small, about the size of some three-phase plugs.
The advantage of the small size is that when installed on the wall socket, it will not affect the use of other jacks in operation.
Part 2, How to use
The use of the Sunflower C1 Pro power-on socket is simply to make the socket join the Internet through matching. Just add an outlet to the Sunflower App on your mobile device.
Follow the wizard's prompts to pair. It should be noted here that the network requires 2.4G, and 5G wireless cannot be used for the time being.
After binding, the interface is as shown in the figure, and I don't need to say what to do.
In addition to the simple remote control of the computer switch, the Sunflower C1 Pro power-on socket can also implement the timer switch function. For example, if you are downloading something before going to bed, you can set the shutdown time, and the rest will not matter.
In addition, you can also monitor the use of the computer through the Sunflower C1 Pro boot socket, which is still useful for some specific needs.
At the end of this chapter, put a video of use to facilitate everyone to more intuitively feel the convenience brought by this small socket.

Part 3, BIOS setting method
The previous simple explanation of the use of sunflower C1 Pro power-on socket and feeling. Of course, in order to achieve remote switching, only with a product such as the Sunflower C1 Pro boot socket is only the first step. Another step to do is to set up the BIOS of the computer. Different motherboards have different ways to enter the BIOS, for example, Lenovo mostly press F1 after booting, and some motherboards press Del. Here is a table on the Internet for your reference, thank you for the drawer of this table. In addition, this table is also for reference only, and it is not excluded that some brands enter the BIOS in other strange ways.
The purpose of entering the BIOS is to change the AC power recovery setting in power management, which is generally in the "Power Managment" option in the BIOS. After entering the option, the names of the AC power recovery settings of different motherboards are different, generally "AC Recovery" "AC Power Recovery" "After Power Loss" "AC BACK" and "Power State After Power Failure Recovery". You can see if there are these options in your computer's BIOS, if not, it means that the motherboard does not support this function. However, at present, most motherboards still support this function. The computer I use is the Lenovo ThinkPad T490. So here I take my computer as an example to show you how to set it up. First of all, the way T490 enters the BIOS is what I said is a more bizarre method--- you need to press enter when booting.
Once in the down-level menu, press F1 to enter the BIOS settings
The T490 doesn't have "Power Managment" in the BIOS settings, which once made me think that this product did not have this function.
Looking through the menu, I found that the power-related setting options were placed in the "Config" option. There is a "Power On with AC Attach" option in this option. The option defaults to The Off status, click Change to On.
After setting up, press the Esc button, save and launch the BIOS settings, and then you can start a pleasant remote switch-on.
Just said, different motherboard BIOS setting location may be different, flip through the sunflower official tutorial, here for everyone to paraphrase the common manufacturers of BIOS related options where the location:
1. Dell motherboard: Enter power management setup - AC Recovery is set to: On.
2, Lenovo motherboard: enter Power - After Power Loss is set to: Power On.
3. ASUS motherboard: Enter Advanced (Advanced) - Advanced Power Management (APM), power state after power failure recovery is set to: power on.
4. GIGABYTE Motherboard: Go to Power Management - AC BACK is set to: Always On.
To be honest, it is still relatively easy to set up as a motherboard, after all, Chinese easier to see. The above is the relevant settings of the BIOS, the method is actually very simple, as long as you follow the steps, 100% package church package success ~ ~ 233333
Part 4. Summary
In fact, remote switching on and off is not a new thing today. Only a simple socket and the biosos can be set up to greatly improve our office efficiency. Like the sunflower C1 Pro boot socket mentioned in this article, there are actually many products, the price itself is not expensive, so it is recommended that when you choose, it is best to choose the brand you have heard of. In addition, it is also recommended to buy in the way of family barrels, the same brand of products, the compatibility and coordination between each other is more perfect, more importantly, only one APP is needed to get all the equipment.
If you are also a user who may need to deal with sudden work anytime, anywhere, then this small socket is still recommended. The above is all about the tutorial, interested friends can start one to play.
