You have remote power management set up for the systems in your homelab, right? A server set up that you can reach to power-cycle other servers, so that if they wedge in some unusable state and you can’t be physically there, you can still reboot them? A managed/smart PDU or something like that? Something like one of these guys?
Oh. You don’t. Well, that’s probably okay. I mean, nothing will probably go wrong and render a device in need of being forcibly rebooted when you’re physically away from home.

If you do have the smart PSU and power management server you probably also went down the rabbit hole of scripting the power cycling, right? Maybe made that server hardened against power loss disk corruption so it can be run until UPS battery exhaustion.
What if there is a power outage and NUT shuts everything down? Would be nice to have everything brought back up in an orderly way when power returns. Without manual intervention. But keeping you informed via logging and push notifications.

Does a $12 Shelly plug count?

Tal just got the chaotic evil tag today.
I built an 8 outlet version of those with relays and wall outlets for… a lot less.
