Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...] I would like to use your card in a conditional card, some of my pi's are not on all the time and I would like to be able to hide them from the dashboard when they are not up. I have set the conditional to be the following...
condition: state entity: sensor.rpi_ts_pi_home_rpi_monitor_ts_pi state_not: unavailable
But it never becomes unavailable as the data is retained from the last operational state. Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I would like to see the above sensor become unavailable after the duration of the polling interval is exceeded.
Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
I could maybe set up a ping sensor to decide when the unit is down.
