Solar ASIC โ€” Automatically start/stop ASIC miners based on solar surplus

Hi everyone,

Sharing a project I've been running for a few months: Solar ASIC, a set of Home Assistant automations + dashboard that starts/stops ASIC miners based on real-time solar surplus.

How it works:

  • A 6-clamp power meter (Refoss EM06P) feeds production/consumption data into HA
  • HA calculates available surplus in real time
  • ASIC miners are toggled on/off via smart plugs based on configurable thresholds, with priority order between multiple machines
  • Includes a real-time dashboard (energy flow, mining revenue, history) and daily summary notifications (Telegram/ntfy/HA Companion)

Goal: never draw from the grid โ€” miners only run on surplus that would otherwise be sold back at a low rate.

It's currently a set of automations + dashboard (not yet packaged as a strict blueprint with inputs), open source, MIT licensed. Happy to walk through the setup for anyone interested, and open to help turning the core automation into a proper reusable blueprint if there's interest.
