No....

If the base is offline, it requires usu a hands on of power off/on.

 

Is there someone who has access to use the power button?

 

In future , there are two things I recommend.

1) a WEMO outlet which works on your local wifi and it can be toggled off/on via phone

2) a UPS unit on the base.  If the base stays powered during a brief power outage, it will come right back when the router does  ( usu if the power up of the router and base is not properly sync'ed, the base goes to an offline situ )
