please add timer to Wifi hotspot

[tkoeberl]

Hi,
after a power failure the access point is slower than the ESP's. The ESP's power up in hotspot mode.
Can you please add the functionality to reset the ESP after X minutes if it is in hotspot mode?

thanks,

Here is a quick and dirty hack (UNTESTED) for you, restarting the ESP after 5 minutes.
Add these lines at the end of "servernode.lua":

TMR_AUTORESTART_ID = 1
AUTORESTART_IN_MINUTES = 5
AUTORESTART_TIMER_ENABLED = true
tmr.alarm(TMR_AUTORESTART_ID, AUTORESTART_IN_MINUTES*60*1000, tmr.ALARM_SINGLE, function()
  if(AUTORESTART_TIMER_ENABLED == true) then
    node.restart()
  end
end)

Please test it only on one ESP first.
