Totally agree! One way I helped with the automation on that is to have a non-mining PC that is on the same network do a ping to the miner at a specific time interval. If the ping fails, then it sends a text to my phone and make it my decision on whether or not to re-boot via the smart plug. (That central PC could also issue the command to the smart plug to reboot, but I figured at some point a human has to get involved).
Here's a snippet of code from that .bat
can you attach here the bat file
not so practice with that
Hope it meets your needs...
