Good day, First of all, thanks for the great job done. I’m trying to install Home Assistant + MQTT + Wifi Hotspot on raspberry 3 to work without any internet connection. It work but I’m disconnected/reconnected every 10 seconds. Based on what I have seen, I have no gateway defined in /etc/network/interfaces (normal) but there is a script dietpi-wifi-monitor.sh which ping the gateway using this command : `URL_PING=$(ip r s 0.0.0.0/0 dev $ADAPTER | mawk ‘{print $3}’)` to restart eventually the wifi connection. As there is no gateway, it disconnect network then reconnect. Reading the forum, i have seen that there is a possibility to disable automatic monitoring but can’t find this command. Can you please say me where it is located ? Thanks in advance, ---

@Joulinar, thanks it work once the service is disabled. Perhaps it could be the case automatically if hotspot is installed ? Thanks again for your great support ---

Just in case, another suggestion regarding hotspot usage, change automatically the date/time setting to be independent of NTP server. Anyway great product and great support. Thanks a lot ---

NTP server can be set using `dietpi-config` manually. I don’t think we will implement this into hotspot. ---
