How to Schedule a Reboot of Your Sky Router from a Raspberry Pi

Is your internet connection dropping unexpectedly? A scheduled reboot of your router might help keep things running smoothly. In this guide, we’ll walk you through setting up a Raspberry Pi to automate the reboot of your Sky router, saving you time and hassle.

import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
from dotenv import load_dotenv

from datetime import datetime

# Set up logging (rotates weekly by overwriting each weekday's log)
log_dir = "/home/pi/scripts/python/sky_router/logs"
os.makedirs(log_dir, exist_ok=True)
weekday = datetime.now().strftime("%a")  # Mon, Tue, etc.
log_file = os.path.join(log_dir, f"{weekday}.log")

logging.basicConfig(
    filename=log_file,
    filemode='w',  # Overwrite daily (rotates weekly)
    format='%(asctime)s %(levelname)s: %(message)s',
    datefmt='%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S',
    level=logging.INFO
)

                await dialog.accept()

            else:
                logging.error("Could not find the reboot button.")

            await browser.close()
            logging.info("Browser session closed.")

    except Exception as e:
        logging.exception(f"An error occurred while rebooting: {e}")

    asyncio.run(reboot_router())
