Found this remote power unit, Migro Outdoor Smart Wi-Fi Outlet Box, Heavy Duty 50A Resistive 240VAC 40A on amazon. Has anyone used this or any comments? Still looking for out of band router reboot? https://www.amazon.com/Migro-Outdoor-Resistive-Wireless-Compatible/dp/B07WC2BT85?ref_=ast_sto_dp.

Thank you! I need 220V, that's why I lloked at the other one. I have a couple of 110V switch that work fine but I running the Amp ar 22oV. Any other thoughts?

Your example seems expensive and still needs 240 VAC wiring, and locks you into the Sonoff smart switch.

I built my own:

Contractor, with 120VAC coil. :

Installed in this box:

I use these to **** the box:

On the 240 VAC side, I used a 3-foot, 240, 15 amp extension cord, cut in half and wired into the relay, inside the box:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K2SHS67/ref%3Dppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I used a 10-foot length 240 VAC 15-amp extension, of the same as above, to run from my 240 VAC, 15 amp wall plug to the relay box.

I used this cord to run from the relay box to the PG-XL: (other amps may vary)

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GNQG8N8/ref%3Dppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I cut off the female end of an unused 110VAC cord, and wired to the relay coil. Plug the 110 VAC into your smart switch of choice

I applied this label to the box:

This is exactly how I use it.

Wemo use 120v for switching external relay, but I am getting 240v passing through relay.

No problem

Good luck.
