Can I turn ON and/or OFF my hotspot remotely?
I need this hotspot to allow me to moniter my cabin 300 miles away. I get a good connection from the cell phone tower in view from my cabin. I would like to be able to turn it on when I need to a...
I have a T-Mobile Franklin T9 hotspot in a remote location and over a long time span that Franklin T9 always becomes disconnected. As a result, I desire to periodically reset that device to provide reliable continued access.
I removed the battery of the T9 and then tried a simple timer controlled power off/on cycle to reset the hotspot. Did not work because when power is restored, the T9 does NOT self restart!
I plan to either:
1- Replace the T9 with another hotspot device that self starts when power is restored. So I can reset with timer controlled periodic off/on action.
2- Use a servo motor to press the power ON button to restart the T9. (the monkey solution)
That remote hotspot provides the ability to monitor/control conditions in a property many, many miles from our location. I will not be returning to that remote location for two months, early September 2022.
