About

PowerRules allows you to define rules that automatically control the power state of your computer based on configurable conditions.

Rules are evaluated from top to bottom. The first matching rule executes its configured action.

Getting Started

Install with pip:

pip install powerrules

Create a policy file:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LeoTN/PowerRules/main/assets/schema/powerrules_policy.schema.json

rules:
  - name: "Shutdown after nightly weekend backup"
    conditions:
      and:
        - process:
            name: "backup.exe"
            running: false
        - datetime:
            between:
              start: "23"
              end: "1:30"
        - datetime:
            weekday: ["Saturday", "Sunday"]
    action:
      type: shutdown

Validate the policy:

pwru policy validate

Show configured rules:

pwru policy show

Evaluate the policy once:

pwru policy run --once

Run continuously:

pwru policy run

Use a different policy file with --policy or -p:

pwru policy run --policy my-policy.yaml
