[FEATURE] Auto Refresh

[ethanpil]

I want to use this to display a Google Slideshow Presentation on a loop. I update this slideshow 1-2 times a week and I would like to be able to just use a setting to add an auto-reload interval for the URL so that I know once I update the loop I need to wait X minutes/hours to until the wallpanel will auto-reload the page.

I am sure this can be useful for other purposes as well:

• Display a static page that is regenerated on server periodically
• Very low bandwidth webcam just reload jpg snapshot every x minutes/hours

Thoughts?

I know this is more of a workaround than a solution, but you could send a MQTT or HTTP request (/api/command) with the following payload:

{"reload": true}

Which forces a reload on the app. This way you could automate or just send it manually to refresh your slideshow.

Thanks for the suggestion! Its definitely something... I was hoping one day soon I might see a new setting in the Application Settings called Auto Refresh with options like

Auto Refresh
Automatically refresh the browser page periodically
*Disabled
*Hourly
*Daily
*Weekly
*Monthly

or maybe

Auto Refresh Hours
Automatically refresh the browser page every X hours
*0 Disabled
*X - I can type 1,24,168 (1 week), 720 (30 days)
