Does a $12 Shelly plug count?
if you can cycle your home assistant with the shelly plug whilst your home assistant is down, yes. from experience it’s really quite annoying to have a smart plug switch off HA…
HA is on the same proxmox host as the router. So yeah I can end up locked out. Hasn't happened yet tho! The relay is on my test machine, it's always nvidia that crashes there.
An 8 switch relay, old Pi, and 8 hardware store outlets can be had for not much more. I did that and let PiKVM control my outlets directly.
This is the back of my 10" rack before it was cleaned up. Lots of custom work on this that I'll be posting a page on my site about when complete.
@tal@lemmy.today in case you are interested
The Shelly can be configured to automatically turn back on after a certain amount of time. It has local scripting capabilities.
If they did that… I don’t know.
