Hi, first of all, thanks for keeping WiiFlow alive.

I use Home Assistant, and today I tried to create an automation that automatically turns on my TV and switch the input to the Wii HDMI as soon as my Nintendo Wii comes online. So, I tried to use the ping integration to detect when the Wii has started or not.

But it turns out that Nintendo Wii only initializes internet when needed. It doesn't do that automatically on init.

If there was an option in WiiFlow for doing this, I could enable it, and set WiiFlow as my startup channel in Priiloader, so that Wii would automatically boot in WiiFlow, which would initialize internet.

Then I'd be able to make my automation work. :)

So, what do you think?
