MFI was abandoned by ubnt some time ago. I've got a few of their environmental monitoring devices from that line in place and wouldn't really recommend any of it. The controller software is flakey, finicky, and hasn't been updated in years.

You will find anything from a single socket (WiFi only) to a 6 socket PDU (WiFi and Ethernet, probably 8 sockets for US but I’m in Europe) with central management system (free) and detailed consumption graphs and costs if you provide the kWh cost. I’m running many of those with the controller/management software installed remotely in a central location and have several alerts and automation scripts setup when consumption goes beyond a certain level (meaning the equipment has crashed). https://www.ubnt.com/mfi/mpower/ Regards, Michel > On 27 Apr 2018, at 17:46, Andy Ringsmuth <a...@newslink.com> wrote: > > I’m sure many here are familiar with or using/have used devices to remotely > power cycle equipment.
