Power switch on if no network

[Brian]

Is it possible to get Tasmota to power a switch on if the device loses network connection?

Use case is a switch used to cycle a battery. If the network goes down, I want to default the switch to on - if it was in an off mode, it may not get the command to switch back on when the device it is controlling gets to a low power state.

You can use the on wifi#disconnected do... trigger

Rules - Tasmota

BUT be aware loss of wifi for long periods can cause undesirable side effects (including reset of the device)

Alternatively, you could use Mqtt#Disconnected as a trigger, on the
basis that not all network problems result in the loss of WiFi.
