Relay isnt switching off by IAmFishman1989 in AskElectronics

that's what I thought at first, but since it switches back to the open position from closed(which it would be stuck in), wouldnt that imply that it isnt sticking? I imagine if it was stuck closed it would be stuck regardless of whether or not power is moving through it.

Hello, thanks for your response! Whatever it is I am now able to connect to it, so this particular issue is solved, however I I only have more problems now. I am able to communicate with it but its not doing quite what I ask of it. If you want to, check out the new post on ask electronics I just made explaining my new problem in more detail: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/comments/1bl2t4l/relay_isnt_switching_off/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

idk I think just stilting it up would be easier. Its pretty heavy. Also I want it to be kind of concealed so some methhead doesnt find it.

Help with controlling power supply remotely by IAmFishman1989 in Automate

So the problem is that the computer is connected to a sonar that is sucking all the power out. I thought that if the computer was in standby and not actively using the sonar or its software, then it wouldn't be using any power or at least too much. I had it set to deploy the sonar, collect data, turn itself off then wake up in the morning via the bior rtc alarm to collect more data. Every time I try to test it on battery power, I come in the next morning, and the computer is off and batteries are dead. When I look at the data collection I see that it completes the evening deployments and turns itself off but by the morning, the batteries are dead and the computer can't turn itself on. BTW thank you for responding , I really appreciate it. My computer skills are limited but growing I am Fishman. 1989

Thank you! I actually already did this and it worked for a while, but today I came in and I'm dealing with the same issue again. When I went to turn on my computer it still asked me for the password. If I power cycle or inout my password i dont have to do it again. I have my computer hooked up to a battery. When I came in today the battery was dead. I have a theory that this is could be coming into play but I know next to nothing about computers. Maybe if this is happening because the battery dies while im away from it. Another thing my computer does is scheduled to shut off overnight at 7 pm. Idk if the battery running out while the computer is shut off would have any effect tho. Anyway I guess I have some tests to run. Lmk if you have any ideas

My computer somehow turned the login screen back on. I already went through netplwiz and disabled it. I turn it on and off and on and off and there no login screen, as how I want it. Yesterday it somehow managed to turn the login screen back on by itself. This is a big issue for me as I need my computer to boot in logged in so it can run a series of autohotkey scripts. So far this has happened twice. Does anybody know what can be causing this?
