Permanent network debugging on android

I have a development platform for Android Things (Pico i.MX7D SOM) and don’t have a lot of time play with it. Sometimes I do, but it is here and there on average 1 hour a week. Most of the time it sits by the window, tracks the temperature and waits for a little update. Since it’s not on my desk debugging via cable is a pain. I really appreciate the possibility to debug over my wifi network. However, even though debugging over the network is possible, it requires you to connect the cable after each reboot and restart adb in tcpip mode...
