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!

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!
