I am looking for a script  to reboot the gateway  automatically. I have the Nokia gateway,and am using a Chromebook. I know I can use a smart plug. But I want to see if anyone else has a better way to reboot the gateway automatically . I am finding after couple of days my gateway is slowing down and a reboot brings everything back.

I know I can use a smart plug.

 

Mechanical timer, easier to use.

 

 

But seriously, there are Python scripts that can be used.

Solved:

 

First I tried my smart outlet, didn’t work, it turned the power off but since  it  needed WiFi to turn back on a NoGo, then I looked for a Bluetooth switch and couldn't find one. I bought a  plug with a timer. it uses a AA battery for back-up. easy to program and only takes one outlet plug. I  did have to use an ex-cord since the gateway  power supply wouldn’t fit.
