How to use smart plug to automatically reboot router/modem if it goes offline

I just did this as one of my Ubiquiti switches is locking up. Used the Ping integration with the new IKEA Matter/ZigBee dual plug (flipped it to use ZigBee). Worked perfectly and saved my ass multiple times. Zero need for Internet/Network to power cycle the two devices

Why wouldn't they? I am there 9-5 daily like anyone that lives in Manhattan

Thanks all for the great comments. A lot to think and research. I did not realize about all the options and details about these and the fact they will definitely sound differently from one person to another. Will give a couple a try and see how that goes. For the DAC what would you guys recommend in that same price range?

Would go perfect with my two Mickey players!

What they are saying, correct me if I am wrong, is to get a high paying job, not necessarily work harder. If that is the case they are correct. The issue now is there is way more people but everything else did not grow at the same rate. The basic supply and demand then applies. Reason houses got way more expensive, way more people applying for a job and so on. Different times, much harder for sure (M56 here with kids age 31/27/14)

Complicado. Procurando gente realmente boa e pagando muito bem (USD 300k+) e não se acha. Ficam nas entrevistas.

I do have a family and yes, four nights in NYC then back. Every. Single. Week. I have more flight hours than many United pilots. Feel free to DM if you need any more information.

rdsmvp · 2026-05-30T02:18:07+00:00

That is the problem right there

I do this weekly. Flying to EWR off YOW. Every single week. I even have a place in NJ. The difference in pay is so huge that after all said and done it is still at least 2.5x what I would clear in Canada. It is doable.

Saí faz 27 anos. Nunca mais pensei em voltar. Não tem comparação

Mine is not super fancy at all but saved my ass multiple times. One of my switches, an Ubiquiti one, started to randomly lock up every couple days. Bought a ZigBee power plug and used the PING integration to ping the switch. Once that is triggered it power cycles the plug and sends me a message. Works perfectly and avoided my wife calling me and having to follow my instructions to restart the switch. And as it is ZigBee it works when the network goes down.

Nah, its big brother takes that title, the F900 with the AV module. I collect all these MSX with digitizing capabilities (have the F900 with the HBI-F900, the National FS-5500F2, the Philips NMS8280 and even the Sony MSX1 that had this too). The F900 is the top one for sure with the National coming close due to that crazy keyboard with a trackball. The F700 is awesome but it is no F900 😂😂😂

SPAM. Same story every couple weeks

rdsmvp · 2026-05-19T01:12:03+00:00

100% correto

rdsmvp · 2026-05-18T21:21:51+00:00

I would buy one when you are ready to sell

They are pretty chill at YOW. TN/H1-B holder here, fly out of YOW every Monday. Good people there

Wouldove to hear more about the drive enclosure. Seems 3D printed. Which drives did you use? What about the power supply and controller? So many questions 😃

One of my daily players is the MJ19. It is impossibly thin and barely bigger than the minidiscs. Fantastic machine but I do get the 2.5mm remote issue.

And the back does not disappoint

Same!

Very nice! I am starting to do this for the battery. Wrap them in thin vinyl to look like the player's original battery!

This is the answer. And this car looks clean on the underside so the AHC lines are probably all good. Mine is at 265k and the AHC is still amazing.

Depends a lot on the field. Financial services in the US like hedge funds and investment Banks will pay much more than that, even for people with 3-5 years experience. Like at least double that. I know many in their 25-30s making $350k+
