@dogmaphobic @LorenzMeier does anything speak against having these control exposed via MAVLink in addition to the GPIO pins?

Besides the obvious, I don't have any strong feelings about it. The obvious meaning if you were to turn off WiFi while connected through it, the connection would drop. If that was your only connection to a flying vehicles, bad things ensues... :)

Right :). I'm thinking about having another option from the autopilot side for setups where we don't have the pins, and where Wifi is additional for convenience when on the ground.
