What? You have a wall outlet to power the mill. There is obviously power in the wall output. The switch uses just a few milliwatts. This does work. I've got several of these little switches. Of course the computer can not use WiFi to turn itself on. You need a human to somehow kick-start

Thanks for all the ideas. I don’t think a WiFi solution will work because I want to completely power down the system. There’s not too much power, as I would only need to switch the control power; all the high power circuits need only be switched through their respective relays. One other

Those 'smart sockets' can be really handy. I use one to control the startup of my 3 phase rotary converter. That way I can be in the shop and only have the converter running when I need 3 phase. In the house is a manual lockout switch for times when I know I won't need 3 phase. Dave On

How much power does your system use? If it can be powered from a normal 120 volt AC then you can buy a "Smart Outlet" that switches the 120V by WiFi, cost about $10 or $15. The Pi then can turn off or on any AC mains powered device. They sell these on Amazon or at Home Depot. You can buy

On a small cnc machine run by a raspberry pi, I’d like to set up the main power to accomplish the following: 1)pressing the power button/flipping the switch turns on the machine 2) pressing the off button, the pi should first perform a shutdown then turn off the main power to all control power
