So not really a controller but tech non the less. I run a small aquarium with smart switches I thought that they would cycle them selfs on when power is lost and then returned.
I learned this morning that we had a storm during the night I went to feed my fish and noticed none of my switches were on. Thank goodness it was only a short time but I would like to solve this problem.
Does anyone know of a way in google home to either set a test to check power on every "x minutes" via connection loss meaning the power is out and either calling or pushing some kind of notification or plan b at least cycling the switch back on when the power is up and connection re established telling home the switch is off. Google home, with geeni smart switches.
Thanks for your time.
 
I run smart switches too and this is the exact reason why they are not really suitable to use as controller.
you can repeat the commands but it makes changes difficult.
IFTTT is your other option.
