[feat] Include Device Status in HASS Json

[jamesarbrown]

It would be nice if we can push a connectivity device to hass to easily pickup failed zwave nodes

Working Example For a Fibaro Smart Implant
{
"type": "binary_sensor",
"object_id": "connectivity",
"discovery_payload": {
"payload_on": true,
"payload_off": false,
"value_template": "{{ value_json.value }}",
"device_class": "connectivity",
"state_topic": "homeassistant/Gate/Gate/status",
"json_attributes_topic": "homeassistant/Gate/Gate/status",
"device": {
"identifiers": [
"zwave2mqtt_0xd15fadb6_node20"
],
"manufacturer": "FIBARO System",
"model": "FGBS222 Smart Implant (0x1000)",
"name": "Gate-Gate",
"sw_version": "5.01"
},
"name": "Gate-Gate_connectivity",
"unique_id": "zwave2mqtt_0xd15fadb6_20-status"
},
"discoveryTopic": "binary_sensor/Gate-Gate/status/config",
"values": [
"status"
],
"persistent": false,
"ignoreDiscovery": false,

}

@jamesarbrown would you like this to be extended to all devices or just for some? How would yout expect this to be implemented in the UI?

[jamesarbrown]

@robertsLando I think the connectivity is currently created by all devices on the mqtt broker, so I think my answer would be that the JSON should be generated for all, after all it will follow the same pattern always and you can always hide within HA
