I had tried a cheaper version of the IP outlet, but it would not reliably turn back on. I now use it on my power tool chargers to turn them off for a few hours every night.
I will find another use for the power strip, maybe to control the non-critical stuff on the network (NAS, Z-Net, etc.) that may still need a remote reboot from time to time.

I haven't gotten back to this yet. I saw the two outlet version when I was looking at the one outlet version. Good to know someone has tried it, and it works.
I'm really not up to building something at this point, but from your description and the one Randy posted I know one can be built. What surprises me is that there are no Z-Wave outlets with this built in. The cheap WiFi had the capability to have it turn back on after x seconds if it was turned off. I abandoned it, though, as it was unreliable.
I'll get back to this sometime.....probably a couple of weeks. My time is short again, and I've had computer issues for a week that I've had to deal with.
