MSNSwitch2 Internet Enabled IP Remote Power Switch with Reboot - Control via Smartphone App, Cloud Service, Web Browser, API, Skype or Google Chat - 2 Independent AC Power Outlets (Model UIS-722b)

I was hesitant because of the reviewers who had issues with this unit after power outages. It works fine for me. If internet is lost it cycles the power. Or you can access remotely, locally, or manually to reset power. after power failure the unit boots right back to the state it was in when power dropped. Decent configurability as far as which IP's it pings and other things like delays etc. manufacturer provides a free cloud service for remote access to the unit. instructions say that it can be controlled by google hangouts messaging . . . but hangouts is being replaced by something else so Im not sure it that functionality is useable anymore. good value for the money overall. I just need to cycle power remotely when things start getting squirrely and it certainly does a good job at that so far. also like the fact that if power drops it comes back on just the way it was, and will even reset the power again if it cant get an internet connection (eg failed router boot). Not all that hard to set up even considering the instructions are sparse to say the least.

My internet like most others seemed to get confused and would necessitate a trip to the basement to reboot the router. Not a big deal but it usually happened when we were busy with a movie or doing our bills and such on the computer. This device, which I found with some research solves that problem. This device allows me to set times for the router to reboot automatically and more than that I can do it remotely from my phone and it has two outlets so I can control another device from the other outlet, using their app. Setup up requires some patience but of all the devices I looked at this one is the one I would recommend..

My wife and I both work remotely and rely heavily on our Wi-Fi for various devices like TVs, security cameras, and computers. Frequently, we face issues with the Wi-Fi or internet connectivity, requiring us to manually reboot the routers. This was especially problematic for our security system when we were away from home. However, this device has been a game-changer. It automatically checks server connections and reboots the system if there's no response within a specified time. Since its installation a month ago, we haven't had to manually reboot our system. It appears to work seamlessly in the background, though I haven't noticed any explicit signs of it rebooting the system. It supposedly has an online activity log, but I found the instructions for accessing it quite cryptic. While the overall instructions were unclear, resulting in a 4-star rating, the device effectively solves our problem, and I'm satisfied with its performance.

I have a remote off-grid cabin that is using T-mobile home internet and a solar power system monitor and control server (running on a Raspberry Pi 4). There is also a slew of Wyze IP cameras at the place. I have the T-Mobile gateway connected to one of the plugs and the Raspberry Pi on the other. After spending maybe a TOTAL of 1.5 hours over 3 days learning the ins, outs, and what-have-yous of this device, It is running perfect. I did change the ping servers to include some servers in other countries (for varied ping times, not sure this was necessary). When this device detects an internet issue, it power cycles the T-Mo gateway every single time. I have it set to a slight delay before it powers it back on just to feel better about my mad configuration skills. Additionally, every night I reboot the gateway via schedule at 3AM... just because. Also -- Even though the Pi runs perfect -- I kick that one every Sunday at 3AM just to keep it honest.I used to have a Google Fi data plan running on a NetGear 5G modem at the place -- this was hella unreliable (even with an external 2x2 MiMo antenna) and would eventually end up in a state where it would lose connectivity and it wouldn't come back -- leaving me unable to see the power system and security cams at the cabin. This device fixed those problems and the T-Mo internet with external 4x4 MiMo antenna has added to the joy.The cloud app (I use it on an iPhone) is spartan, but just like Leonidas, it gets the job done.If you're willing to invest some time in learning a "quirky" operating system, this device could automate turning any type of equipment on/off for you!

I have a home that is in a remote location and is unattended for long periods of time. I use internet based security and home automation so this seemed ideal for those times when the ISP says "just unplug the modem and plug it back in to reboot it." Yeah, that's a thing when you are hundreds of miles away.So, I set this up, got the mobile app to work and then the web based app. It's not for a newbie, but if you follow directions it isn't that hard to do. I set it up so it would start my modem and after 30 seconds it would start the router, a sequence which works well. Then I set about testing it. The unit seemed to work just fine, resetting and sequencing the modem and router as I had hoped. I could control the outlets fine, no problem. When I unplugged the ethernet cable the unit could no longer sense internet activity and it proceeded to reset as advertised. Nice.BUT I then moved to power failure testing, and the unit failed miserably. When I cut power to the unit, everything went down as expected. But when power came up the unit booted up but did not sequence the other power ups properly (everything turned on at the same time) and since it didn't properly start the modem and router it did not go into a mode where I could control it remotely. Since remote operation and automatic failure recovery was the whole point of having this unit, I'm returning it. Nice idea, I just wonder why it won't recover properly from a power failure - that's a huge flaw.
