Ability to turn accessory off/on #10

Within HomeKit Accessory Simulator, there exists the concept of reachability. It'd be nice to be able to turn an accessory off, without stopping homebridge.

I'm not sure if homebridge offers this functionality for us to expose currently?

This is a subtle difference from disabling plugins/accessories/platforms which will remove them from homebridge's config altogether.

This might only be marginally useful, likely shouldn't be prioritized.

So the goal would be to put that HomeKit device into an unreachable state but not actually remove it from HomeKit/HomeBridge?

Yeah, not sure if we have a use case for it though.
