homeauto01 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Guys this is not C4 specific but I trust the level of networking knowledge here. I need a Remote PDU that can auto-ping and reset my modem when it locks up and looses internet connection. I would also plug in my router and switch as well to be able to remotely reset them if needed. Would prefer a rack mount option all things being equal. What is a good pro-sumer grade option for me? Is the Synaccess line any good? Specifically the NP-05B unit. https://www.synaccess-net.com/np-05b Thanks for your input GeneO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4 User Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Look at wattbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejn1 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Also look at Digital Loggers Inc, PDU7. I have both it and Wattbox and have had better reliablity with the DLI. homeauto01 and msgreenf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMHarman Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 The wattbox has a C4 driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 DLI has one too...and each outlet on DLI can be set to emulate Wemo which is pretty cool homeauto01 and ejn1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeauto01 Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Well I ordered the DLI. M., I probably need to get you to help me out again. I don't know if I really need to implement this into C4 or not and I have no idea what having the outlets emulate Wemo does for me, so I will probably contact you. I really probably should have you finish up clearing out a bunch of previously abandoned items in my C4 system as well.

I found the easiest way to have "remote" access to the DLI is via C4... the Wemo options are added benefit that I currently dont use. I set up a couple of custom buttons in C4 to cycle power on an outlet when outside of my home network. Works great. When you are in the network, you can do easily with the DLI web interface. msgreenf and homeauto01 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually DLI is fully recognized by Domotz, I can power cycle any of the 16 outlets I have from the Domotz app outside of C4. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
