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

Great Device — Nearly Flawless!!
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!!

Decent product but the $60 subscription isn’t mentioned in the description.
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.

Works good so far
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.

The perfect remote power solution (and I mean perfect)
I have been using various versions of the ezoutlet series for many years and each revision has been a substantial improvement on the last. This current version is essentially perfect. It offers complete and total configurability and flexibility to cover every situation I have come across.Need for your router to automatically power recycle itself when it’s WAN connection stops working? This will do it.Need for network switch to automatically power recycle itself if it loses access to your router LAN or WAN? This will do the trick.Need for a NAS or server to automatically power cycle itself if the HTTP or FTP services they offer stop responding? This will do the trick.Need to be able to manually command a power cycle reset of virtually any attached device or appliance when you are away from home or office? This will do the trick.Need to have the choice to access the power switch from your phone, or web browser? This will do the trick.Need the power switch to be able to connect to your LAN with either wired connect or wifi? This will do the trick.The only very minor complaint I would have is that the phone app and web interface are a little bit geeky and people who are not technically inclined might find it a little bit intimidating. That is kinda the price you pay for such wide ranging flexibility though.These power switches are magnificent. Unless you have a need to be controlling power to a very large number of different devices these are absolutely what you want.
