Gas boiler in an old building with a safety mechanism that would trip and latch/lockout sometimes in high wind conditions, requiring a manual power cycle to restore heat.

Solution: Arduino and a relay in-line to cut the power for 1 minute every 120 minutes.

Planned to add a DS1820 to only cut power when required, but never got around to it.
