I've also got another idea forming.
I hate email on my phone - I get too much of it and the final straw was the day a certain impatient member of this forum started bombarding me with email whilst at a close friends funeral demanding attention. Luckily I had the phone switched off for the public church service and following crem service for family , but I think a few of you may have seen my subsequent reaction when I did turn my phone on and see all the emails.
Since that day I deleted all mail from my phone however......
Within the past half hour, I've stumbled across a feature on Android phones (presumably Apple with have something similar) called Priority Senders.
I'm not quite sure if this would work yet from reading
this but perhaps something for me to play with on my S5 Neo.
I could even create an email address just for use with DSLstats.
I'm likely to get an email each day, but if things work as they should... 5 emails in a row should alert me that there is a problem.
THEN
- if I'm home.. easy peasy go reboot the modem, or I could even be lazy and use an adaptation of d2d4j's script to run once.
- OR if Im not. Use the Kasa app to remotely turn off one of the HS100 smart plugs which has the modem directly plugged into.
Right now I don't have a spare HS100 as both are in use elsewhere - but one of them is currently controlling an extension lead for several plugs for xmas lights. Come next week I could re-use that. I am so kicking myself I didn't pick up another when I qualified for the tplink £9.99 offer.
Atm Alexa controls all the smart plugs, but Im pretty sure I can still use Kasa as a stand alone in addition to the Alexa integration. - Yes I can... just tested it.
