Is there a way to run a browser window within HA?

i would need a power switch which comes back after 5 seconds automatically or so.

Again, they do sell such things. HA is great, but sometimes we want it to do things that other hardware already does well, reliably and inexpensively.

The Shelly plugs can auto on, when off.

You could also programm a esp based device through esphome to do the same.

The point is - I could use a remotely controllable power socket e.g. Tuya compatible or Nous A1 etc. - yet when i switch off the router obviously i can not reach it any longer from outside to switch it on again…

@ami6

When my router is powererd off, it also loses its DHCP function etc. - so no access from HA to another device… i would need a power switch which comes back after 5 seconds automatically or so.

I use a z-wave power plug, so that when wifi is out, HA can still issue commands via the z-wave USB dongle that is on the HA box.

Or use a smart plug with ESPHome / Tasmota / Shelly - those plugs could have simple logic on the config/firmware of the plug itself, so that you don’t have to rely on wifi.

Why wouldn’t you be able to run a shell_command with a script? Execute curl commands to auth and trigger the reboot?
