Reconnect WiFi (scan for strongest AP) #731

Description

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like

I would like to have a function that disconnects the WiFi and then performs a new scan and connects to the strongest AP found.

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:

I have an ESP32 that rides along my robot lawnmower and keeps track of some things.
I have 3 APs to be able to cover my house + garden. But the ESP is "sticky" and stays connected to which ever AP it decides on first.
I know it is possible to set the "reboot_timeout" to something quite low, but it seems unneccesary to reboot the whole ESP and loose track internally of stuff, when I only really want to try a reconnect to a better positioned AP.
