    I (like others at the moment) am having loads of short power interruptions. I have -on more than one occasion- gone into my PC bios and set it not to reboot after an outage, but it keeps rebooting by itself.



    Is there any sort of adaptor than I can plug into the wall socket that will need to be physically switched on after power returns?

    A sonoff s20 smart plug can be set to default to off on a reboot

    Have you considered an uninterruptible power supply. APC are a renowned manufacturer for industry and have some home offerings also.

    Yes. It would normally be the best option, but it would be a waste of money as my next replacement will be a laptop.

    Some of those plug in RCDs have to be reset after power loss

    The sonoff if it can do that be better

    Yes it was good advice

    The added feature of remote switching is a bonus that the purely mechanical items don't have
