Meross/Refoss devices going offline, automatic reconnect idea

[CTJohnK]

I've had a number of these devices go offline. While it was easy to unplug the smart plugs and plug them back in to get them back online, that doesn't work for switches. This seems to be a hot topic in the Meross app Forum.

I'm using Unifi equipment and while looking in the Unifi dashboard, the devices always showed connected with a good signal. I decided to setup a HA automation to force a reconnect via the Unifi integration when the device goes offline for more than a minute.

Just an idea, perhaps other networking systems have similar functionality within HA.
