Turn on smart plug if home internet drops off?

Sure, this is a very common request and there are already eight or nine threads in the forum about it.

You just can’t do it with anything involving smartthings. :wink: that’s because it would require custom code and all custom code runs in the cloud.

Instead, there are a number of different smart plugs sold for exactly this purpose. Most of them are Wi-Fi and ping a specific website at regular intervals. If they don’t get through to that website, then they reboot themselves. Very simple and works well.
