Yes, the managed switch could be a possibility, the "box somewhere" is an added complication, but sounds like easy enough.
Essentially what I was looking for would be an easily programmable managed switch capable of pinging and switching ports on and off, i.e. a self-contained one.
Maybe something like that can be done with an Arduino or a RaspberryPi or similar small boards, but I was hoping there was something similar already made.
