Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As documented in #633 , the authentication cookies from Google expire at varying rates. I never know when the cookies expire without checking my local Home Bridge. Many times it has expired for a month or two before I even notice. I use your plugin to connect with a Nest Protect smoke detector, and trigger some lights in the house in the event of a fire. It is very concerning not knowing if the Nest is connected or not.
Describe the solution you'd like Allow us to add an email address to the configuration file. When the plugin is unable to connect to Nest, it can send us an email notification. It would be even cooler if it can send a text, but I understand there is a cost to that.
Describe alternatives you've considered I can set monthly reminders on my phone, but I do not know how often the cookies expire. I could write a script, or push logs out to a syslog server, that parses the logs for errors, and notify myself, but it would be easier to add to the plugin.
Thank you for the awesome plugin, and all your hard work!
