I'll give you something almost better. Elan has a driver for bluebolt. Put the router and modem on outlets on a 4315. Then put a toggle button on the home screen of the Elan user interface. Make that button power cycle the bluebolt to reboot the network. Set the toggle button so that when the related outlet is on, it automatically turns the toggle button back on. Now, If they have a problem, they reboot their network without having to get out of their chair.
Of course, setup the auto ping and reboot on the bluebolt too so most of the time any network problems are self correcting before they know it.
I saw on the Elan forum that someone has the one way commands to control a wattbox too. As soon as I have time I'm going to try it because I prefer ovrc. I already do all that with cable boxes with Wattbox IP and Total control. The TC Wattbox driver includes codes for on/off, or reset of each individual outlet. Definitely setup auto ping for the router to reboot the router and modem

Here is something perhaps a bit different.
Finished the installation of the DRO (digital readout) system on my milling machine.

I today had a thought.
Almost forgot what it was.
I think the title of this thread, in my case, needs to be changed to "What Didn't You Do Today?'.. ;-)
Time for another glass of 2005 Bodegas Lan Gran Reserva Rioja.. :-)

Nice work. I can remember setting up a soldering table under the wire bundle back in the day. I would sit there for hours getting connectors on. I don't miss it :).

Today I had to go back to customer's house that has 3 MX-980 that John helped me update yesterday.
One in the bedroom has DTV power off button that the other remotes/rooms do not.
3 times yesterday I asked my customer to test, reset the remotes when he called that telling me that that the updated button didn't appear on the remote, even though I demonstrated the feature, WHILE HE was holding the controller and pressing the button.
One of the things I asked him, 3 separate times, was which of the MX-980 remotes he was holding. Each time he tells me it was the one for the master bedroom.
So today, I show up and go to master bedroom and what do I find on the cradle? The living room remote, not the bedroom one.
Swapped remotes around and left.
It's a good thing that they weren't home as I was not a happy camper.

John, I will give you the whole thing if you're willing to talk to them and get that money out of them.

It's a good thing that they weren't home as I was not a happy camper. A small label on the back of the remote with the room name would have solved this on the phone. I know you know that that's why im confused you didnt have one. C'mon Mario.
