ezOutlet5 - Internet Enabled IP & Wi-Fi Remote Power Switch with Automatic Reboot - iOS | Android | Cloud | Web Controllable - Single AC Power Outlet - Model EZ-72b

Reliable reboot of my Security DVR system located 40 miles away.

The top critical review for this device is nonsense. You absolutely CAN do a remote reset with this device. That is its' purpose and it does this wellOver the years I have purchased FIVE of these devices. I've seen improvement in each version. The EZ-72b is the best version yet. It literally took less than 5 minutes to get this device configured and working in the app. You just plug into the same network of the device you're using, then SCAN, and it adds this device to the app. Very easy.The device is very configurable. You can set device name, various time parameters, and how it pings. I would recommend disabling SHUTDOWN. Should you accidentally shutdown the device remotely you must physically return to the device to turn it back on because this kills your internet. However, the RESET function works perfectly to power down/power Up your modem/router.I have Comcast and if the internet goes down, you must do a power reset on the modem to restore internet service. This device performs this task flawlessly. It is the perfect solution, especially when away from home.I give this device my unconditional endorsement. It's a great device!!

It's smaller than I expected, but it's enough to run the wall warts for my modem and router. It's fairly easy to use and has wifi AND eternity support at the same time so I can monitor both the router and the modem and reset them either both or independently. It is only meant for smaller loads, it will take wall warts but nothing with a 3nprong plug that draws a lot of current. The wires are too small to carry much current. It's perfect for low power devices. It's not going to switch on and off fans or anything like that. It's easy to use either through the app or the built in web server. It's well built and looks like it will last.The only thing that isn't mentioned in the description is that if you want notifications or logs, you have to pay $60 a year for it. Way too much for something like this. I can make do with the free version but the description infers that the full cloud service is free. They don't mention the upsell after you install the app.

Contains an ESP32-WROOM-32E module with WiFi and Ethernet. Can be controlled with the embedded web interface, RESTful API, or through cloud app. I developed a desktop application to turn it on and off from the system tray. Get it at ezOutletTray on github.

The unit reboots whenever it wants to regardless of settings. I have my ping timeout set for 10 minutes pointed to a solid source. Reboots anyways. In 10 minutes when I’m home I should notice network drop so the reboots don’t line up with what it’s set for. Stay away from it.

Just received my unit. Was surprised to learn that a log (presumably of restarts, etc.) and notifications (email or text) are only available if you purchase a $60 subscription. That was not mentioned anywhere in the description and that is the reason for 3 starts instead of 5. Using the iPhone App, I was able to setup and test a scheduled restart and a wifi ping restart. Testing the scheduled restart was just a matter of waiting until the restart time and verifing it worked (it did). I pulled the plug on the unit and verified my settings were restored. On my unit, the default ping-fail action was OFF -- that's NOT WHAT YOU WANT -- you want it Restart. I lengthened the ping timeout to several minutes (incase the ISP burps) and I set the restart delay to 30 seconds to give everything time to shutdown before power comes back up. My ASUS wifi router has a "WiFi off" button which allowed me to easily test the ping restart. The UI took some time to understand (don't forget to hit Save after all changes!); particularly getting the Time page setup (set the control to check the time every hour or so).Net: the device seems to work fine. I'm very disappointed they didn't tell us having a log (so you know if/how many restarts there have been) and getting notices costs $5 per month but I'll probably sign up.NOTE: if you go to the vendor's page, you'll see several other interesting devices.

I initially had this device connected to 2 separate devices that kept locking up on me while I was away. I had a lockup the other day and was able to reboot the device remotely and the system came back online. However if you connect this to internet equipment then as soon as you cut the power, you lose complete control of this system. You would need 2 sepetste internet connections if that’s the case. However it does shut the power off correctly.

Purchased this unit so that I could minimize the EMF in our home while we were sleeping. We have five WAPs (Wireless Access Points) that were active all the time via a POE switch. The easiest solution to turning the WAPs on/off each day was to drop power to the POE switch. The ONLY real solution I could find for this was the ezOutlet5.It did require some patience to work through the unit's web-page, but ultimately it worked perfectly. Unit comes with a helpful "template" for wall mounting. Most small devices like this do NOT come with a template for screw placement, so this was helpful.The unit found my wireless network with no problem, and connected to the WEB without any problems.Finding and working with the "schedule" portion of the set-up took a minute, because the unit is really engineered primarily to re-set a cable box or modem to re-establish COMS with an ISP. I am sure it does that well, but in my case I wanted to use the "schedule feature" to solve the EMF problem.Did not need to contact technical support.Very good value for the money, in my opinion.
