Help creating yaml for ESPHome Auto-Restart Script

ESPHome
1

I came across this but I do not have a sonoff.

Do I have to remove the comments in my yaml?

Is there anything I would have to modify or delete since I’m not using a Sonoff ESPHome device?

I’m using another ESPHome smart plug.

They’re comments. Why would you think they need removed?

Uh, potentially yes. What device are you using?

Are you doing all this just for an auto-restart script? If so, theres much easier ways than this. The simplest would be to just use the wifi component and its on_disconnect: function to do a reboot if it becomes disconnected.

I’m trying to do exactly what this script does. Ping/monitor if my internet goes down. Restart until it goes back up. This is for the cable modem.

This would be for the smart plug connected to my router.

Then use the esphome, on_disconnect to control the smart plug or trigger a automation that restarts the device till it is up.
