Question 1

I don't like the idea of any device connecting to an external server. Can this be disabled and the device controlled without access to their Server?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can disable the cloud server access function. You would have to then manage the device locally using only its internal web configuration pages. The ezOutlet would still send ping tests to the Internet and reboot when the service is lost unless you also disable this feature (Manual Control). You can also disable its NTP function and manually set the system time.

Question 2

Will this reset if the router completely locks up and stops responding to LAN traffic?

Accepted Answer

The default settings monitor for access to the Internet and then power cycle the attached device when the Internet is no longer reachable.  You can change the target IP to monitor to be your router's LAN IP address and then the ezOutlet will only power cycle the router when the router's LAN port stops responding.

Question 3

Where can i download the manual and the api?

Accepted Answer

Hi Norman,

The Quick Start Guide is included in the box and can be downloaded from this link in the Amazon listing: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81f07p4efsL.pdf

We also have a guide for various ways to communicate with the MSNSwitch - it uses the same API as the ezOutlet.  There is no API to download - it is all HTTP commands.  See section 6 of this document: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/A1yGF9k94JL.pdf

Question 4

Can i turn switched circuit on or off manually (without having a schedule) using ezdevice app?

Accepted Answer

I have four of these units and know them well. Yes, you can turn off and/or reboot manually. In fact, that's exactly how I use them. We work remotely using GoToMyPC and occasionally a computer locks up. When this happens, I manually reboot, saving myself a trip to the office to do it in person. I have been using this device in this manner for  a while, and it has never failed to get the job done. Highly recommended.
