sigh I really need to come up with a reliable and inexpensive way to power cycle some equipment remotely.

My #raspberryPi is up and running but the two #SDR software defined radios aren't responding even after rebooting the computer. The computer was involuntarily power cycled twice yesterday when the power went out and when the backup generator transferred the house back to the grid after grid power was restored.

Or maybe the SDRs need to be reseated in their USB ports? 🤔

I had looked into various ways of remotely power cycling the last time I had issues and lots of folks had good ideas but I never identified exactly what I should use.

At least this Raspberry Pi doesn't cook SD cards when it gets involuntarily power cycled.

I see the Pi has a way to shut on/off USB power...

Question for my friends:

Is there a reasonably inexpensive device like the app that I can setup to run continuously? I can have power and either Ethernet or WiFi available.

I see that the Cornell Lab of Ornithology has several units that they use for research purposes that are based on so I'm guessing there's a good project I haven't found yet.

It would be cool if I could feed it to the various research projects, too.
