SnapAV WattBox

Controls a SnapAV WattBox (800 and 250 series) power conditioner. It switches outlets and can power-cycle a hung device with a reset. Each outlet is bridged as its own device.

Talks to the WattBox over Telnet on TCP port 23. Authentication is a username and password. As a bridge device it exposes each outlet — up to 18 — as its own device, with outlet 0 representing the whole unit.

  • host — the WattBox address.
  • username / password — WattBox credentials.
  • port — the Telnet port (default 23).
  • outlet — which outlet this device controls (managed; 0 is the whole unit).

It carries the power and bridge traits. The bridge fans the WattBox out into per-outlet devices, so each outlet can be controlled independently.
