Is there a way to remotely reboot a Rachio 3?

Not to my knowledge.

If you have home automation like Alexa, Google, or SmartThings, you could either replace your wall outlet with a smart outlet, or you could use a smart plug.
If you don’t have home automation, you can get smart plugs which you can control with your smartphone.

Can I also ask why you are needing to reboot?

My controller fell offline and rebooting it got it back up. I travel for work and it when it goes down, I would like to reboot.

I have the same problem as my system goes offline weeks after I’ve left my winter home when I’m at our summer home. Frustrating to not be able to reboot remotely. It seems all it takes is a WIFI blip and I lose the system.

You need to understand that if the controller has gone offline, that means that even if there was a way to remotely boot through the app, the controller has no connection.
If this is an issue, you could put the controller on a smart outlet and be able to turn off/on power to the outlet remotely, effectively rebooting the controller.
