Hello! A status sensor would be awesome! I found your project while i was trying to improvise a bash script to update mqtt with info from another host. I have multiple computers in my house and i would like to have them intergrated into HomeAssistant and also to be able to wake them over lan. however, if i use default wake on lan switch from homeassistant, the machine is being waken by the homeassistant ping. so i wanted to have the status in homeassistant via mqtt, not ping.

your script is very efficient and well built. could you add, please, a status sensor? and maybe an action to wake over lan? :D

thanks!
