Early last month, we introduced Controlflow in Braiins Manager with a simple goal: give mining operators a single, reliable system to automate recurring workflows across large fleets. With scheduled rules, teams could plan ahead, reduce manual effort, and execute routine actions with confidence.

Schedules are ideal when events are predictable. But in real-world mining environments, many of the most important actions are driven by changing conditions: miners going offline, hashrate dropping, or devices getting stuck in unhealthy states.

Today, Controlflow takes the next step forward with the addition of Trigger Rules, unlocking dynamic automation that responds to real-time operational activity rather than fixed schedules. With Trigger Rules, you can periodically evaluate device metrics and automatically take actions when defined conditions are met.

How do Trigger Rules Work?

Trigger Rules are fully integrated into Controlflow’s existing interface and can be managed following the same structure and patterns as the previously released Scheduled Rules, meaning that you can create, edit, enable or disable them at any time.

When creating a new Trigger Rule, you specify the:

• Frequency: determines how often the rule runs (e.g. 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 5 hours, etc.)
• Targets: determines what devices are affected by the rule (e.g. locations, IP range, device model, etc.)
• Conditions: constrain action execution based on device metrics (e.g. hashrate, temperature, power, etc.)
• Action: defines what will happen to the targets if conditions are met (e.g. reboot device, set power mode/target, start/stop mining, etc.), optionally with a daily execution limit to prevent instability or automation loops.

‍

This granularity unlocks a wide range of new automations for mining farms. Here are a few interesting use cases:

Detecting & Reacting to Underperforming Hardware
A Trigger Rule can check devices every 30 minutes and identify miners whose hashrate has dropped below expected levels and whose temperature remains within a safe range. This helps distinguish genuine performance issues from intentional throttling mechanisms such as DPS in Braiins OS. When both conditions are true, the rule can automatically reboot the affected device to attempt recovery, with a daily execution limit applied to prevent reboot loops if the issue persists.

Reacting to Ambient Changes
Trigger Rules can be used to automatically adjust power modes or power targets based on device temperature. This is particularly useful for hardware running stock firmware without advanced protection mechanisms such as DPS, where excessive heat can lead to instability or hardware stress. In these cases, Controlflow rules can proactively reduce power or pause mining entirely when temperature thresholds are exceeded.

The opposite approach is also possible. Trigger Rules can increase power targets when miners are operating below optimal temperature ranges, up to a defined limit. This is especially valuable in regions with fluctuating or freezing ambient conditions, and when there is enough headroom to increase power.

By unifying triggers and schedules, Controlflow now supports both planned and reactive automations in one place. Upcoming Events and History views now include both scheduled and trigger-based executions, giving operators a complete picture of what automations are planned and what has already happened. Each rule remains independently controllable, ensuring automation stays aligned with operational intent.

What’s coming next

With Trigger Rules now built into Controlflow, operators gain a more powerful and flexible way to react to miner conditions than with the legacy Triggers feature. Automation becomes more consistent, more transparent, and easier to reason about as operations scale.

This release also sets the groundwork for further Controlflow enhancements. In the near future, Trigger Rules will be extended with additional actions, new conditions, and Telegram notifications, enabling broader automation use cases and better visibility when rules execute.

To support this transition, in the future existing legacy triggers will be automatically migrated into Controlflow. The legacy Triggers feature will be gradually deprecated as Controlflow becomes the single system for all automation.

Available now in Braiins Manager

Trigger Rules are live today inside Controlflow and available to all users as part of Free Early Access. Together with Schedule Rules, they make Controlflow an industry-leading solution for large-scale mining fleet automation that can adapt to real mining conditions while maintaining the control and visibility large operations require.
