Feature request: Getting notifications and errors as specific text message, not just a flag

[sirupflex]

What do you want to achieve? Is your feature request related to a problem?

I'd like to receive notifications and errors as specific text messages, not just a flag, so that I can see the specific content of the info or error on my OpenHAB sitemap / HABpanel and can also use & log it for further review or processing. Currently, for all my Miele devices in OpenHAB, I only seem to get a flag that tells me there is an info or an error but I still have to walk to the machine to see the info or error. This is a bit like when email came up and people called each other to check if the email got received ;). The benefit of a Smart-Home is to get such information from your actors/systems in the house, filter for it, trigger events based on the contents of the error or notification, have them displayed e.g. on your smart-home panel centrally together with other events in the hourse, have them logged in the system e.g. to see how often you changed the AutoDos detergent, etc.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like to have two additional channels that provide the specific text message of the information or error indicated by the info_state or error_state flags. Could also be one channel covering both events if applicable. The channel(s) have to be a string, long enough to store and transmit the info text / error text.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Walking to the washing machine to see what kind of info awaits me, when I receive the "info_state" flag set. No, not really ;)

Is there something else that could be useful in the context of your feature request?
