Resetting a Circuit Breaker remotely

I am looking for a means to remotely reset a GFCI Circuit Breaker remotely. This is a standard DIN rail module (photo below) that combines ground fault and overcurrent protection in one unit. I have an electric gate that occasionally trips the GFCI in heavy rain and would like to be able to reset it remotely when we are not at home, but someone needs access.

Any ideas, or even better, product pointers, welcomed.

Maybe you could come up with a mounting kludge that would let you use this:

I am using the switchbots for several application. They are very reliable. But they work with Bluetooth

I am using pibeacon to switch them. So local and remote works

Thanks for the suggestion. I wrote them and asked it the Switch-Bot would be workable in my application, and, included a photo of the circuit breaker.. Their response was:
I regret to inform you that, based on the design you've shared, our current bot model isn't compatible with that type of switch. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
