For the first time in a year, my hub needed rebooting

Not a big deal as 1nce in a year isn’t bad. Only problem is it was in the basement and I’m in a wheelchair. It took me over an hour. Any clever solution to this? A wifi smart plug, or just scheduled reboot every week or so should avoid this?

I reboot my hub using Rebooter app? you can get info from the link below. I hope it helps.

[RELEASE] Hub Rebooter App

I know some people use RM to reboot their hub nightly but this requires you to have hub security disabled. The only option I've seen with security disabled it to run something on an rpi. I built a small app that does it all self-contained to the hub (I really didn't want to setup an rpi just to reboot my hub!) You can find the app here GitHub - dcmeglio/hubitat-rebooter it's pretty straight forward, specify the username/password to use to login to your hub and the time of day to reboot. Hopefu…

You shouldn’t need to pull the plug on it. Only do this if you cannot restart it gracefully either via web UI or ip-address:8081. If neither of those are available then yes you may need to pull the plug. Obviously you would need something that is accessible outside of HE like Wi-Fi plugs.
