In my opinion, there really should be an option to reboot your Homey Bridge software-based. My Z-wave network sometimes needs a reboot (or for any other reason) and fiddling with the micro USB long term doesn’t seem like it would be good for my bridge. USB C would be a different story, but I’m afraid I’ll one day might damage the connector. Shouldn’t be to hard to implement I reckon.

You can use any WiFi-based smart plug (like the Tapo P100) to reboot the Bridge from the Tapo mobile app and from within Homey Cloud itself.

I could, but that’s an iffy workaround, not a proper solution.
