Hello,
Plug compact is installed on socket for fridge (only for measure the power consumption).
When is switched off main electricity from power plant and after reenergy is plug compact always switched off - due this can fridge lost cold status.
How can achieve that the plug compact will be switched on after reenergy the power lines, please?
Thank you in advance for answer.

This has been discussed here repeatedly and Bosch says it's for "safety reasons". I agree that this behaviour is unfortunate, but it seems it won't get changed anytime soon.
My workaround is an automation which is triggered by the plug compact being switched off. The automation then switches it back on after 30 seconds. Works fine.
This probably won't work if the SHC loses power, too, so you need to connect it to a UPS.

Dear @Maurice, yes I red it, I don´t want to change it (it seems no way).
I am looking for e.g. an rule (or other recommendation from Bosch Smart Home technician), which will work for this two situation [via Zwischenstecker is connected fridge (only for measure power consumption)]:
1. What is happened: electricity from power plant are switched off Smart Home Controller and Zwischenstecker. After reenergy is Zwischenstecker under power earlier like Smart Home Controller (due Wifi start up time delay).
What is required: after reenergy switch on the Zwischenstecker again (then fridge wan´t be warm up for longer period).
2. What is happened: circuit breaker for power line of fridge is switched off Smart Home Controller is still powered, and Zwischenstecker is down.
For first will be very helpful and message or email Zwischenstecker is down.
Second will be an rule for start again Zwischenstecker when will be powered, or cyclicaly.
What is required: after reenergy switch on the Zwischenstecker again (then fridge wan´t be warm up for longer period).
Thank you in advance for real example.

1. This is probably not possible, but I haven't tried it since my SHC is protected by a UPS. A workaround might be an automation which triggers every hour and switches on the smart plug unconditionally.
2. Push notifications about unreachable devices are currently not possible, but it's also a frequently requested feature.
This is my automation which switches on the smart plug after power is restored. It also sends a push notification:
The delay is important because the smart plug won't accept a "switch on" command immediately after a power cycle. 30 seconds is a bit excessive, but I didn't bother figuring out the shortest possible time.
