Add New Worker

This document provides guidelines for creating workers at two critical levels of the MiningOS inheritance hierarchy:

• Level 4: Device Category Template Workers — abstract bases for device categories

• Level 5: Brand/Model Specific Workers — concrete implementations for actual hardware

Together, these levels enable the management of diverse mining equipment through standardized interfaces while supporting brand-specific communication protocols.

For the complete inheritance hierarchy, see Repository Structure and Architecture — Class Hierarchy.

Mining operations require management of diverse equipment categories: power meters, electricity gear, sensors of various types, miner containers, the miners themselves, and more. Each category shares common behaviors within its type while differing in brand-specific communication protocols.

• Level 4 templates provide standardized interfaces, shared configuration logic, and type system integration

• Level 5 implementations handle actual device communication, protocol-specific logic, and hardware quirks

This two-layer approach maximizes code reuse while enabling support for any hardware vendor. For a complete list of currently supported hardware, see Supported Devices.
