Roger,
You could up with the most interesting things! A remote on/off switch. If only it came with USB / USB in and out. That would make it really cool.

I'll be buying some of these when they come out. I like this idea for a bunch of reasons. Remote power down and up for one thing.
I really don't like the software interface for this. Too tied into SonOff. I'll have to keep looking around for something more flexible. Or build one ourselves. Hmm.

Sonoff for ever...There are many benefits to Sonoff, which is being used by millions around the world. - Discount price - Simple connection - App for iOS and Android - IFTTT integration - Many functionalities * Timer * Pulse Function * Sunrise / sunset function * Google Home and Alexa integration * Large range of devices for different use * DYI mode, flash it with your own software * Sonoff SV 5-12V with voltage-free relay contacts.
Good for incorporation with Weather products * Sonoff Basic R3 with REST interface
Here you can use your own approach to your product. But only locally.  Good to have in the toolbox when you just stand and lack a functionality. Still think it is a good alternative to Watchdog timer because it can be used on all types of electronics products. More about Sonoff sonoff.tech/www.itead.cc/wiki/Sonoff

A little more information about Sonoff
for restarting the device or other features
I also have to inform about Tasmota
A Sonoff device is basically based on an ESP8266 device. For many years, an OpenSource tool has been developed that you can flash to any Sonoff device or NodeMCU ESP8266. Then you can get out of the box WiFi manager, configure MQTT server, and individually per. input / output pins choose what this pin should be used for. A large amount of sensors are pre-configured. Eg. Showing DS18B20, BMP280 / BME280, DHT22, AM2321, SHT30, TSL2561, WS2812B, Buzzer, OLED display, LED strips and many more devices. See the full functionality on the link below. This allows you to configure an additional sensor or on / off function via your MQTT server and control it from whatever you want and without writing a line code. It is an extremely interesting tool for any integration of functionality for a DIY Maker. Use a finished Sonoff device with relay with Tasmota, or use a NodeMCU with many more options right out of the box.  Tasmota has hit 5 MILLION DOWNLOADS from GitHub!!! Hope this can be an inspiration. I would like to post to the SwitchDoc blog about that, if that is of interest.
