Refresh site - if no activity

Question

I am having a touch screen with some very basic html pages. But if there is no activity for maybe 5 minutes, it should reload the main page again. So if I the main index.html page where there are links to siteb.html and sitec.html - it should after few minutes without activity load main.html again, even if standing on sitec.html

So it is not just a refresh of the site, but a load of the main page if there is no activity

Is there any scipt for this or an example I can try and test ?

This doesn't exactly meet the OP's requirements. – Jacques Marais Jul 19 '17 at 13:46
using this you can reload the page, for no activity you can make time out function which depends on your framework – Nihal Jul 19 '17 at 13:46

You can use following code also which includes time interval that means after 300 seconds page will be refreshed.

         setInterval(function() {
              window.location.reload();
            }, 300000);
