Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe: One of the data points on the service is connected, which implies whether the cloud service has access to the mower. I would like this exposed on all services exposed by the accessory.

Describe the solution you'd like: According to Supereg there is a StatusActive characteristic that can be added to the services to notify Apple whether requests will work.

Describe alternatives you've considered: Just adding a custom characteristic, however if it’s custom it won’t have any operational benefits to the user.
