Does a $12 Shelly plug count?

if you can cycle your home assistant with the shelly plug whilst your home assistant is down, yes. from experience it’s really quite annoying to have a smart plug switch off HA…

HA is on the same proxmox host as the router. So yeah I can end up locked out. Hasn't happened yet tho! The relay is on my test machine, it's always nvidia that crashes there.

An 8 switch relay, old Pi, and 8 hardware store outlets can be had for not much more. I did that and let PiKVM control my outlets directly.
