[Request] - ESP restart via MQTT

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Hello,

I have integrated openDTU into NodeRed using MQTT.
In case of an error I would like to restart the ESP.
This function is not available via MQTT.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a new MQTT topic for an ESP restart

Additional context

No response

Which error do you receive, that you need a restart?

[Phantomias2006]

Hello, thank you for your reply.

I use the project „openDTU on battery“ and there the CAN data of the Pylontech battery storage and the Huawei power supply are read. In case of longer connection problems I would do a restart as fallback.
Because the restart is included in the WebAPI and missing in MQTT I created a feature request in the main project.

This reboot feature would be also usefull, if there is no response of opendtu because of "flooded" mqtt-queue because of to much power limit commands

Da ich jeden Tag die openDTU neu starten muss wäre es toll wenn ich es über MQTT in Homeassistant machen kann.
Warum muss ich jeden Tag neu starten? Siehe:

Warum musst du die DTU jeden Tag neu starten?

Ach so. Ich mach alles per HA (Node Red), da gibt es solche Probleme nicht mit OpenDTU. Meine DTU startet nur nach Udates neu. Zuletzt vor zwei Wochen.

@Phantomias2006 @kjmwwi @crisi-solar a topic to restart the OpenDTU will have to defined as an additional MQTT topic in #759.

We would need to agree on a common OpenDTU / Ahoy MQTT topic tree / structure with a writable / control topic for DTU restart / reset here first.
