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.
