Yes, you'd need a 3000W or lower, otherwise you're looking for trouble.

Went on leave for 10 days - the day after I left the Pi running home-assistant went down - so nothing worked, pool pump, lights, all down.
I could VPN into the house, but couldn't connect to the Pi, didn't respond to pings, SSH down, etc... going to need to find some solution to that so it doesn't happen again.

Do pis do poe? Cos then a managed poe switch that you can power cycle the port...A sonoff basic with ewelink powering the pi

Was thinking of that, but it'll only work if I make an extension cord between the Pi and the wall plug.
Pi's dont have PoE built in. The official site lists a PoE hat coming soon.
You could always get a "switched rack pdu" but a sonoff and extension lead is slightly cheaper...

Perfect for a pi...
That was my next thinking - expensive though for a device that'll probably get used very in frequently... will give it some thought. Thought of scheduled restarts, but also might not work if there's a total system freeze.
Would like to try and figure out why it actually shutdown like it did.... I'll go through the logs this evening.
Took me about 10 seconds to work out that sentence!
"Do Pis do PoE?"
Glad I wasn't the only one.
Does anyone have any issues setting up sonoff B1 bulbs? I have 3 that I cant get to work. I've tried via android, iOS, and in their respective AP compatibility modes as well. No success. I can get the bulbs to seemingly go into pairing mode and compatilbility mode (3x 2s on and off or 6x 2s on and off) but no actual connection to the bulbs can be made. Am I missing something basic? I have 4 other slamphers that I setup easily, but the bulbs are just not connecting. It cant be 3 dud bulbs.
Is there a way to tell which pow I have?
Under model it should say either POW or POW Rev2
Can't say I have - is that the older white bulbs?
Its the older RGB silver finned heatsink ones. Not like the newer smooth gold and silver ones on smartkit.co.za
Anyone ever had any experiences with Sonoff switches burning out, setting alight, etc...?
Just thinking now, replacing switches with T1s without really knowing what the odds are of these things catching fire.

Oi! Leave me out of this...
They're very basic, so unless you're way overloading it I think your chances are about the same as with a standard switch.
There was a post earlier (either this thread or another) about a guy using a POW on a geyser and the POW didn't make it.
You'd have to run a bigger relay and then I'm not sure if the power monitoring will work.
