Sensor: whether the device is online

[b-rowan]

Can this be compared to the switch entity? Technically the switch state is set by the result of is_mining in pyasic, which should indicate whether the miner is in shutdown mode or not (except in the case of #294, which is a bug) .

[Sjors]

Well the switch only says if it's mining, right? But when it's not mining I don't know if it's offline or online but not mining.

[b-rowan]

Yeah, ok, this is sortof a subissue to 294, in that the device itself should just report as unfindable or fully offline when its powered off, but report not mining when its in shutdown mode, if that makes sense?

In any case, ill try to figure out a full fix tonight.

[Sjors]

I care mostly about whether it's confirmed online. Whether it's offline, unreachable, powered off is less important.

[Sjors]

So perhaps whenever a poll succeeds the sensor is set to Online, when it fails it's set to Offline.

[b-rowan]

Does v1.1.1rc1 fulfil these requirements? You should be able to check if the miner is available?

[Sjors]

When I try to add this as a condition to an automation, I don't see "available" in the dropdown, at least not when selecting the device.

[b-rowan]

You should be able to do it on the entity, doesn't seem like devices support unavilable?

One of these should work?
