Also figured out…

In init/1,

```elixir
Process.send_after(self(), :ping, ping_timeout)

```

Then, add a handle\_info

```elixir
  @impl true
  def handle_info(:ping, %{options: options} = state) do
    ping_timeout = Keyword.get(options, :ping)

    Process.send_after(self(), :ping, ping_timeout)

    {:push, {:ping, ""}, state}
  end

```

Will suggest the peer has to send a `PONG`, and if it does, that will count as a communication and thus will reset the timeout.
