Another new product lineup from CRYORIG is the Pi series, a future line of power supplies that fit into the Internet of Things (IoT) hype. This new unit promises Wake on Remote and Close on Remote functionality. It's far from ready though, the estimated launch date is Summer 2016.
CRYORIG Pi is the innovative proof of concept Power Supply Unit (PSU), which will be demoed during Computex, 2015. The CRYORIG Pi combines IoT capability with a PSU to create a brand new way of managing and controlling your PC.

IoT or Internet of Things is a gaining momentum in home electrical appliances, allowing control and monitoring of everything electrical within the house hold. CRYORIG’s initial intention to add IoT capabilities into a PSU unit was to overcome the difficulties of configuring Wake on LAN, and Wake on WAN functions when trying to use remote desktop like applications. CRYORIG patent pending Zero Hassle Hardware Wake (ZHH Wake), directly controls the PSU and mainboard on/off signals, the IoT enable Pi PSU does not need any type of configuration other than pairing to an internet enabled WiFi signal.

Wake up a remote PC to perform remote desktop functions. Remote wake your file sharing or distribution computing PC after a local power outage. Remote close your PC ahead of a thunder storm, or just simply check if you remembered to close your PC with sensitive material after leaving the home or office.

The application of the IoT enabled Pi is almost limitless. From this base CRYORIG’s Pi line can extend further capabilities such as fan speed control, energy usage recording and management, electric bill estimations as well as PSU health and deterioration reporting all directly to a mobile phone app.

The CRYORIG Pi line of Power Supply Units is targeted for release in 2016 with wattage ranging from 600 to +1000 Watts, and 80+ Gold to Platinum certifications.
