Subject: [AFMUG] Simple way to power cycle AC power remotely?

This is actually a issue with my boiler, but I know that we as WISPs have been 
coming up with creative ways to power cycle devices for as long as electronic 
gear has locked up (since the beginning).  

So, I have a boiler for my hydronic heat system which is intermittently locking 
up due to issues with the pressure in the propane system (the underground main 
is 3/8" soft copper.....another project for next Spring).  When it locks up it 
needs to be reset in order to restart or the remote location gets cold and 
pipes can potentially freeze.  The boiler has an app and a router deal that 
will notify me when the boiler errors out, but it is lacking the 'reset' 
functionality that is available on the local panel.

I have Ethernet to the boiler, and a Netonix in the same room.  I thought about 
using the Netonix POE to trigger a relay to cycle the AC, but I'm not sure what 
relay to use or if this is even the best bet.  Perhaps there is a simple 
network-connected din-mount device or something that works well for this also.  
I could throw in a Tripp-Lite power controller, but I'd prefer something 
smaller, and the AC is currently connected inside of a junction box.  I don't 
really want to bring the power out of the box to install an outlet and to put a 
power end on the cable, so I am looking for a way to connect a device in-line 
that can interrupt the AC main in the junction box.

Anyone have any ideas for something like this?  I imagine that you have all 
done this a hundred different ways, so let's hear 'em!

Thanks!
