I have a gate controller that occasionally needs the power reset. For a bit of time, I used WEMO plugs that I spliced at the gate controller itself, and that worked 95% of the time. But as most of you know WEMO is pretty garbage at always working and if there was some kind of hiccup in wifi, I would have to go manually reset it (which defeats the purpose, like when I'm out of town.)
Based on some advice from guys on here, I put in a Shelly relay instead. The flexibility and functionality of it is EXCELLENT. As far as I know they are known to be reliable as well. HOWEVER, I just immediate ran into a limitation that makes it useless for me. It turned off within a few hours from overheating. I guess it only runs till 95 degrees. It gets to 115+ here in AZ! (The switch is protected from the elements, but not temperature).
What are my other alternatives? I would prefer not to go back to relying on WEMO.....
