I have a wemos d1 mini configured as access point and running a webserver (ESP8266WebServer.h).
I would like the device to reboot in case there's no connection for some time.

How would you code this?

Cheers

Initialise it to millis() in set up

In each server access handler update lastAccessTime to millis()

In loop add a test to see if idle time is exceeded and perform a restart as required

if(millis() > (lastAccessTime + IDLE_TIME)) {
ESP.restart();
}
