EDIT:

Gave command sudo reboot, RPi failed to restart
Pulled out wall wart from wall socket, re-plugged after 1 minute, RPi working normally and all is well now.
So far so good…
Waiting for another crash :wink: (had a crash few days ago, have fixed that one also by pulling-out wall wart)

This happens very intermittently on my main receiver, maybe once every couple of months. Definitely not frequent enough to do any real troubleshooting.

It’s complicated by the fact that I travel for my work, so on any given day I could be in any of the US 50 states.

My wife got a little annoyed by me asking her to go out to the garage, find one specific plug, and unplug/replug it, so I solved my problem by buying a couple of “smart outlets” and connecting them to my home automation system (mostly Alexa based).

When I get one of these notifications now, first I try to SSH in using the ZeroTier connection to do a managed restart, but if it won’t connect I can just open the Alexa app on my phone and turn the outlet off for a few seconds. Works surprisingly well.

This is the one I used: Amazon.com
