Top Reddit reviews mentioning Range Replacement Plug Receptacles:
A lot of the smart plugs have buttons on them to manually turn them on/off. For example:

You could also have an Alexa nearby to turn it on. The plug above has a countdown timer as well.
Yes. Replace the breaker with a 15 amp and install an outlet using wire nuts and some short pigtails. This way if you ever had to swap it back it would be very easily done. You can always use wire larger than it needs to be, just not smaller. Pigtails may be required at either or both ends.
You can also purchase these if you want a more turn key solution. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CJ246JP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DQZtFbCG68GQC
Would plugging my Rancilio Sylvia into one of these smart outlets cause any problems for it? I just found out I'm supposed to be preheating it for 40 minutes before using it, and I normally use it right after waking up, so I would be nice to schedule it to switch on. These are UL rated up to 15A, which should be higher than the Sylvia will ever need at 120V and max 950W, right?
It sounds like you've already enabled the schedule and then turned on Sleep Mode at its lowest setting. The 'Light Sleeper' is 39 dB and that's equivalent to a human whispering. Is the Mila right next to your head?
Your only other option will be to buy these: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Alexa-Smart-Wifi-Plug/dp/B07S57PQSM and schedule it to power off at a schedule that suits your needs.
People in MixedVR seem to use smart plugs to turn them on / off with phone or voice command. That's what I do.
I think there's some hacked together way to do it over bluetooth but it's just easier to go smartplug IMO. There are TONS of options for these, i personally use the Kasa/TPLink ones and you can get a 2pack for 16 bucks.
Make sure you're buying for the right type of plug, but they do make converters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CJ246JP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_DQZtFbCG68GQC

Here's the guide I used to authenticate via API: http://itnerd.space/2017/06/19/how-to-authenticate-to-tp-link-cloud-api/
If you have any programming knowledge you should be able to take it from here, but let me know if you need help. Took me hours and hours to figure it out myself.
The lighting should be 12 hour on 12 off. If you can, Amazon has smart plugs that can be set to turn on/off at certain times. Mine are set for 8am/8pm. It’s a lifesaver when I’m not home at those times.
I am assuming you mean some kind of "Smart" LED lighting. If so, you can either get a Smart Plug to turn on a single power strip that both lamps are plugged into, but that is basically wiring them together.
The other option would be to get either a pair of the same kind of Smart LED bulbs, or a pair of Smart Plugs, and most phone apps to control Smart devices will allow you to set up a program to control multiple devices with one command, such as "turn on bedroom lights" that tells device #1 and #2 to both power on.
Smart Plugs are probably the cheaper way to go, since Smart Bulbs will eventually burn out or are more likely to fail.
I have one of these Kasa brand Smart plugs that I use for turning on/off lights during the holidays. It works pretty well once you get it synced to your phone. I got a single one as part of an Amazon promo for $1 last Prime Day, but they are less than $10 normally.
FYI: The trick to getting them to sync correctly with your phone is, make sure your phone is on Wi-Fi ONLY (turn off cellular data) and that you are NOT connected to a VPN service and then run the pairing procedure from the App on your phone.
these are much cheaper and work great as long as youre using 110volt outlets.

There are plenty out there, but I like my TP-Link Kasa. It works with Google Home/Amazon Alexa/other smart home interfaces, and if you're running OctoPrint you can get a plugin to automatically cut power in case of thermal runaway, the printer being left idle, etc.
Not to say this is the only option, just what I'm running and why.
Hope you find it useful. I did forget to add that most lights like this use an inline switch, which obviously isn't going to work too well if it hidden in the back of a cabinet. My solution to that was a couple of smart plug switches like this. You can use them as designed and control the lights with your phone, or you can ignore that, and use the physical on/off button on the side of the switch.
Wouldn’t the “inline” switch recommended here allow you more flexibility in the future? Or how about something like this, which is also allow you to control from an app & set up timers.

Best thing would be to demand a replacement but for a timed reset you can pick up a smart plug like this, no physical smart speaker required, then set up a routine in the kasa app. Set it up to reset at night once a week at night, I guess?
yes, you can use that.
If you don't need four outlets you could consider something like this
It's recommended to let it warm up AT LEAST 15 minutes, but 30+ is ideal. I have mine plugged into a smart outlet so it automatically turns on at 6am so it's nice and warm when we get up and make some coffee. You'll also be able to turn it on from anywhere if you want to come home to a warm machine.
Something like this
For most wifi plugs like this one, they connect to a cloud account so you can control them with your phone from anywhere through the internet
I'm using these. Not near my computer to verify, but I think I'm using the PSU plugin, which has a sub-plugin for these, and they work fine.
Kasa Smart Plug HS103P2, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Echo, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control,15 Amp,UL Certified, 2-P https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B8W2KHZ/ref=cm_sw_r_apanp_xiKc5EO1B8fhu
What you want is a smart plug. They can be controlled by the Google Home app, or the Google hub (once to set them up in the app). I have mine set to turn on and off automatically based on the sunset and specific hours (e.g., turn on at sunset, turn off at 11:00 PM). But I can also tell the hub, e.g., “Hey Google, turn on bedroom light.”
Obviously these only work with lights (lamps) that plug in. Otherwise you’d need a smart switch for lights controlled by a switch.
These are easy to set up and won't lose their config if you have a power outage. Bless your heart for not having a timer!

My Syncrobit has an option in it to restart the miner if there is no signal for a X amount of time or if it's in relay mode iirc. Maybe Sensecap has that as well? I could only set that option when I was paired with the hotspot through Bluetooth.
Your other option is using a smartplug like a KASA
Then if you hotspot stops working you can open the app and power cycle it.
Limited-time deal: Kasa Smart Plug HS103P2, Smart Home Wi-Fi Outlet Works with Alexa, Echo, Google Home & IFTTT, No Hub Required, Remote Control,15 Amp,UL Certified, 2-Pack White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B8W2KHZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_dl_KA6ER96BN7PMNSAA72N2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Octoprint running on a Raspberry Pi, using the "TP-Link Smartplug" plugin which connects to my Kasa Smart HS103P2, which turns the printer off after 20 minutes of idle (configurable of course). Also protects against thermal runaway by watching the temps of the bed and hotend and can power off the machine if something isn't right.
My printer is out in my workshop, I just control it all from my desk. I power it on, start a print, and it will power off when done.
One of these fixes the problem just fine.
Southwire 9042SW8801 UL Listed Electrical Outlet Gas Range Adapter Converting A 250 Volt Receptacle for an Electrical Range to a 125 Volt Receptacle for A Gas Range https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CJ246JP/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_B3JHWXM3NMRCA6X34YQ7
You can buy AC smart switches that connect to your wifi and put timer functions on them. They are cheap.
If something like this works for you, you can make it simple and cheap for you with item like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Southwire-9042SW8801-Outlet-Range-Adapter/dp/B07CJ246JP/ref=mp_s_a_1_22?dchild=1&keywords=4+prong+to+3+prong+stove+adapter&qid=1626639768&sprefix=4+probg+to+3+prong&sr=8-22
At the moment, I can't think of a way to resolve your lack of remote viewing. What I would recommend is using a wifi controlled power plug.. I use one for the printer and one for the Pi. If you loose connection to the Pi, you can reboot it remotely using the power plug and if you have a problem with the printer, you can kill power to it immediately.
In Canada, we have these:
Canada Wire Gas Range Adaptor
In the US:
Southwire 9042SW8801 UL Listed Electrical Outlet Gas Range Adapter
That's a good way to do it.
Cheaper and easier may be a smart switch that will reset power on a schedule. You can for example restart the dish every night or so.
