Build a Rube Goldberg contraption to twiddle the power to "fix" something else that's broken? No. Don't go that route.
Nowadays with cheap controllers available that work well, you'll spend more time/money on the power on/off solution than you would just replacing the controller, and you'd probably get some new features or toys in the new controller that the old/tired/misbehaving one doesn't have. If you replace the controller and it continues to happen, you can kick yourself for not taking the time to troubleshoot to root-cause, and start over. Find the problem or at least start with replacing the suspected part (controller) that is most likely to be causing it. Time is just as valuable as the money to replace the controller. If you put the power switch on there, you still have to go BACK and find the real problem. Two trips instead of one? Silly. Don't do it. Nate WY0X
