Good Evening from Germany,
Solution A: API
The Mikrotik-API is a great Solution....
Some use it via a Small Web-Application (http)
or other via dedicated Programms or simple Scripts
Tipp / Trick:
I had something similar, where the customer (restaurant) didn't have or want any "servers".
So we used Powershell + API to create a Desktop-Shortcut to execute a repetitiv Task.
Solution B: Telegram
It is quite easy to setup a Telegram-Bot for your mikrotik device.
The BOT in turn is able to receive Commands from a Phone or a Telegram-Client
So for exemple, you could set it up to cycle PoE-Power on all Interfaces,
as soon as someone sends "poe" or "resetpoe".
Solution C: HTTP
I don't know if it is possible to receive a HTTP-Request on the Mikrotik
Maybe someone else on the Forum knows the answer!
But you can definitely make (aka. pull) request to a Web-Application.
