Remotely reset power plug

[Sl33py]

Hello

I wantto be able to switch off or reset the power to a ADSL Router from time to time. I fisrt thought to get a POE Smart Switch with a POE ADSL Router but cant seem to find one.

I know you get GSM Switches and "Smart" plugs so I want to find out what people are using to reset plugs remotely
I Have 2 ADSL Lines there with 2 Routers in fail over so I can get access to the network just not fix it.
Thanx

GSM commander and relay, then you send sms to that device and it power cycle

gfmalan has got it - GSM Mini Commander will do it, nothing extra needed. You can also set it up to warn you of power cuts etc.

There are some cheaper GSM options available but you have to be sure they are cleared with ICASA.

Is there anything like the GSM Mini Commander or Edimax that is controlled by wifi from a normal Windows PC? 220v of course.

Wemo switch? Not sure .... just asking.

Ja, like WeMo switches, but not needing a dedicated app requiring iOS or Android.
