Some times after power loss (12v) the rockpro64 will not fully power on when 12v is restored. It will enable 5V but then it will not "power on" which is indicated by pin 1 raising to 3.3v. This is fixed by pushing the power button for 5-8 seconds which for sure forces the rockpro off and then a single push of a second. We can use these facts to "push" the power using a relay powered by a esp8266 running the Tasmota firmware and a simple tasmota rule. Below are the details.

I take NO responsibility if you brick/fubar your rockpro64 or wemos boards doing this. Please understand and test first. Don't just connect your watchdog to the rockpro64 rather set up a testbench like I did by using the 3.3v pin on the D1 mini and a switch instead of pin1 on the rockpro to simul
