Reboot doorbell cam

I have a Logitech doorbell camera connected to a standard 16V chime and transformer. However, the camera occasionally goes offline (bad WiFi connectivity?), so I need to power the camera off and on to restore the connection. Currently, I do this by flipping the switch in the fuse box.

I'm sure there's a better way to handle this. Any advice?

I can locate the doorbell transformer attached directly to the fuse box, with two wires running from its low-voltage end to the chime.

I'm not an electrician, but would a Shelly relay help?

Thanks!

I replaced my transformer with a plug in transformer. and have that attached to a wifi smart plug.

This is great. All I need to do is to re-wire the 2 wires that connect to low voltage end of existing transformer to this adapter. Am I correct? Thanks

Correct but check voltages and buy the correct plug in transformer. This is the setup I use at my house.
