I put an Esphome smart plug on my fiber ONT because my idiot Asus router sometimes doesn't refresh the public IP, and then I can't use Instant Guard or Wireguard. So, I'm out, and I need to access my network for something I can't do through Nabu Casa, no problem, I'll reboot my ONT. Problem is I never created any automations in esphome or HA to automatically turn that plug back on, so when I turned it off I killed my internet and couldn't turn it back on, and it ain't gonna turn itself back on.

Anyway, not a big deal. Just a reminder to double check your stuff before you need to use it.
