Description

I wanted to know if it's possible to have a restart button on the ESPHome page.
The reason is simple. My ESPs have a static IP address, but sometimes my Home Assistant loses communication with the ESP. A simple restart is enough to reestablish the connection with Home Assistant. Personally, I don't see the point of creating a web page just for this. Furthermore, my ESPs are on a secondary network that my main PC doesn't have access to, only my Home Assistant and ESP Home Docker containers.
My current solution is to reflash the ESP, but this is a bit time-consuming, or to disconnect the ESP's power supply and reconnect it. For me, the simplest solution is to have a restart button on the ESPHome page.
