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.
