Add ability to automatically reset or reboot at specific time

[Crease]

@dave27

I remember specifically searching for plugs that stored their rules/schedules in the plug itself. I don’t recall which ones but I did find a couple that worked that way, but obviously if they lost connection still couldn’t trigger anything remotely and would have to wait for the scheduled item to run.

This is actually the case with Wyze Plug Outdoor and newer Wyze Plugs (kind of like 2nd and 3rd generation). First-generation Wyze Plugs (which are what I have) don’t have the Local Schedule feature.

And, yeah, at that point it’s a waiting game, as has been discussed in other Forum topics. Essentially it’s just a dumb timer if it gets to that.

@dave27

There are some out there that have set up scripts that monitor their internet or whatever else they’re trying to make more reliable, and when the monitor fails it sends a signal to the plug to reboot.

Yeah, @habib specifically mentioned a device that does this several months ago.

Maybe each smart plug needs to be plugged into a different brand smart plug

I get the laughter, but there are also Forum members who absolutely swear by using a non-Wyze smart plug as a remote reboot option for their Wyze cameras. I guess as some additional layer of redundancy the thinking is that if the Wyze camera has lost its server connection then other Wyze devices might also be affected, so perhaps there’s a greater chance of successful reboot/reconnection by using a different service entirely. Seems like a reasonable idea to me, and I’m certainly not married to a single brand of smart devices.
