Task Scheduling Initialization and Reconnections

[KyleMercer]

I have been using Task Scheduler for several years building very basic projects and it works great for what I need. However, to this point all of my projects have been very basic and not very fault tolerant. For example, a simple sensor that collects some environmental data might lose WiFi connectivity or connection to its broker and will not reconnect automatically. Hours or days might go by before I notice this has occurred and can hard reset the device.

For that application, all of the communications are established in the regular Arduino setup function which means it is one and done.

I have been trying a couple different things on my own to incorporate fault detection and recovery into my device but would welcome any suggestions and/or examples others have on how to accomplish communication initialization, fault detection and recovery using tasks.
