I need a reliable wifi switch to remotley reboot a raspberry pi server. Reliable in the sense that it only switches off when commanded to and returns power to reboot copmputer. The Tapo product seems popular / inexpensive. What is the most reliable product?
#Reliable wifi switch to be placed near router.

Which Shelly model did you try? Did it ever fail?
vagrant olive
Of course they failed. 1 liter of water killed 1, me trying to flash ESPhome on another fried it. But the ones I did not touch are performing fantastically. Personally my only reason to switch away if that I don't like WiFi and prefer Zigbee.
I mainly use the Shelly Plug S
My Zigbee go to is the IKEA one for EUR10

1 liter of water? I sense there is a good story there
What is the motivation to flash ESPhome?

Well it was brilliantly positioned directly beneath a kitchen sink which started to leak.

What is the motivation to flash ESPhome?
No real reason. I like ESPHome and it was possible. I still have shelly's with ESPhome flashed, mainly from older generations
