Automated Power Cycle

Mar 24, 2021 3 Replies

Hey all,



Has anyone used or installed a 120volt power relay that would allow for a 23 hour 59 minute on time and a 1 minute off time that would then repeat the cycle??



The desire would be to have a remote device do a daily reboot without human intervention.



I know I can build one to do the job but I was wondering if someone knows of a device that would be off the shelf available to just plug in.



Any thoughts would be appreciated.



Thanks,



Les


Seems to me something like this would do what you want:

See under "More Features":

"Daily ON-OFF Timer

With this feature, you can set up to 3 daily ON-OFF programs; each program will repeat once every day. For example, you can use this timer to reboot your router by setting it to go off at 2:00 am and come back on at 2:05 am. The adjustable time is from 1 minute to 23 h 59 mins."

Thanks Jeff,

Yes that should do the job!!

Have a good day.

If it's a computer, you can just program it. What else does 'reboot'?

Power-cycling a computer by interrupting AC power is stressful in ways that simply rebooting is not.
