nanokvm_power_cycle

Force power off, wait, then power on a target machine to reset it, especially useful for Raspberry Pi 5 which lacks a hardware reset button.

Instructions

Power cycle the target machine (force off, wait, power on).

This is the recommended way to "reset" a Raspberry Pi 5 since
it has no hardware reset button. The sequence is:
1. Force power off (5 second button hold)
2. Wait for specified duration
3. Power on (short button press)

Args:
    off_duration_ms: Time to wait after power off before powering on (ms).
                    Default 3000ms (3 seconds) ensures clean power cycle.
                    Use longer values (5000+) if you have slow storage.

Returns:
    Status message indicating power cycle completion
