Script to reboot gateway
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.
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.

Mechanical timer, easier to use.
But seriously, there are Python scripts that can be used.
