Any way to reboot a device through it's configuration page (Devolo Powerline)?

Configuration
1

Hey everyone,

I have a Devolo powerline which -unfortunately- requires regular restarts (every 2-3 days) or it acts up.

I have not found an existing way to control them with HA so i have to go the configuration page and press restart whenever i see that the network is slow.

The admin page looks like this and does not require a password:

Is there anyway HA could get there and simulate that button click?

Looking forward to your input.

Edit:
Is this the way to go? How would I find out the correct request?

Inspecting the network tab of chrome developer tools only one item appears when i click the button and here are the information about it:

Can i build a curl command to simulate this post request?

Hey, did you ever find a solution?

Yes, but not the one you are looking for :frowning:
I sent them back and used ethernet :slight_smile:

Tx, so your are not using powerline anymore?, but direct ethernet?

Yes, I bought the devolo as it was supposed to be the best but after 2-3 months it needed to be rebooted very often, so I went the safe way, I took it back to the shop and got a refund. Then wired ethernet and never had to bother again.

Cool, facing the same issue, but direct wiring is problematic, I’ll keep digging.

FYI, found " devolo-plc-api" if interested, but reboot is not an option yet.

When I posted it, I was thinking perhaps HA could “visit” the config site and run some Javascript to replicate the reboot click. But I didn’t get lucky

I’m sure there is a way, hopefully, something will come to light soon.

Some Devolo PLC devices are added in the recent version of HA.

I don’t know if there is any support to restart the PLC devices from HA. If it is possible, you could add script to HA to restart PLC devices every 2 months.

PS Update 13 dec:
From devolo-plc-api 0.7.0 can restart devices. For now the integration has version 0.6.3.

had the same issues lately with devolo powerlan adapters and wrote a cli tool to reboot them GitHub - gebi/devolo-cli: Small cli for devolo powerlan adapters

it can also dump config/runtime data (a lot of interesting data in there) and easy to integrate into home assistant or export prometheus metrics…

Any plans to bring a reset button to Home Assistant for devolo Home Network? I need to reset two devolo 1200+ Wifi Adapters quite regulary (everytime the main coordinator changes) and would love to do it via HA.

I also have a devolo 1200+ adapter that needs to be restarted quite often.
Would it be possible to add this reset-functionality to the HA-integration?
