Help needed! ESP32-Alexa (A.I.) client

[mano1979]

In this project i found on github https://github.com/MrBuddyCasino/ESP32_Alexa, there should be a function that sends a "ping" every 5 minutes to the server it is connected to (amazon's alexa server), to keep the connection alive and avoid the esp32 from beeing reset. This is not implemented yet.
In the esp32-alexa code, preparations are made to implement this function, though the writer has no time anymore and is not able to help out. This is what he wrote:

I changed the programming model from threaded to async, as I needed to reclaim the stack memory. See components/asio/asio_http2.c.

I am not a great programmer and have no knowledge of the esp32-idf language. I tried some things here and there, but it always results in a broken script that won't compile or work.

I hope someone here is able and willing to lend a hand.

Some additional links with code examples. I just don't know how to implement it.
