[Ovmsdev] Introduction - message replay and other topics

[Michael Balzer]

Ludovic,

sounds all reasonable.

Regarding Wifi, doesn't our client "scanning mode" implement what you're 
looking for?
(https://docs.openvehicles.com/en/latest/userguide/wifi.html#client-access-point-modes)

Regards,
Michael
