  • I made an 8 outlet box with relays connected to each outlet (might post a how to). That’s connected to a Pi via GPIO.

    The Pi runs PiKVM, but also has a service that:

    • Checks if the router can be pinged
    • Checks if the internet can be pinged
    • Checks if the router webUI is up

    If any of those fail, it toggles the plugs for modem and router.

    I run OpnSense on a 5V miniPC. I have a second one and will be setting up CARP, too.

    Note: Cellular backup is more involved, but a separate Cellular inbound might not be. I’ve considered putting one on the Pi above.
