automatic retry for OTA-updates

[gon0]

Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like I would wish for a ESPHome OTA retry-function. A counter could be used, which I would set e.g. to “50”, which automatically clicks “retry” for me, if an OTA update fails. By standard, it is set to “0”.

Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried: Problem in my scenario: I have some quite packed ESP32 running wih a lot of peripherals. This causes the OTA-update to fail most of the time. After retrying ~15 times the OTA update succeeds. I added a collection of the various error messages I receive in the code section below.

I already implemented Safe Mode Button — ESPHome , but It did not help for having a successful OTA update on the first try (it also takes > 10 trys, until an OTA update succeeds).

The Wifi-connection seems to be good (Fritzbox 6490 Cable 2 m away from ESP32).

Additional context An excerpt from console outputs from failed OTA updates:

This would be a good addition, i'm seeing similar results where OTA often fails due to ERROR: receiving acknowledge chunk OK: timed out
