As Smart Homes become more popular, the need for a reliable, stable, and secure internet connection is more important than ever. Power outages can leave smart devices inaccessible, requiring a power reboot to reinitialize the internet for the homeowner to regain access to their devices. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are spending significantly more time online, and a daily power cycle of the modem and router can improve internet performance issues such as buffering and slow speed. Our SMART device allows users to manually, remotely, and automatically power cycle their modem and router asynchronously to provide a proper reboot of the internet system. By using SMART, homeowners gain invaluable control over their internet devices.
