After a long power failure (snow storm) I need to remotely restart my AppleTV 4 that is acting as a hub for my HomeKit devices. I don't see a way to auto-reboot when power is restored. Any help? Am I missing something?

Hi. You cannot restart your Apple TV over the internet. AppleTV normally does restart when power is disconnected and restored, so it may actually be OK. Your problem may be with the router and the internet connection at the remote location. And Apple TV may need to be started after the internet connection is available. You should consider getting a large UPS to support these devices you depend on, the router and Apple TV.

As it turns out, I am unable to reach either server on my network. As Diana suggests, I suppose I will need to get a larger UPS, but this was a six-hour outage (Home in the NC mountains) and I guess the router (on a UPS) did not shut down gracefully 😦 Fortunately this doesn't happen that often. Thanks for your interest and these helpful replies.I
you might be able to do it if you could setup a vpn from the computer you use or iOS device you use to the network where the atv was connected to
