Looks a little pricey but I guess if the shoe fits wear it....:)

That relay looks like exactly what I was after. Thanks Chuck!

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!
