localtuya passive device?

Any plans to re-add passive device support? I have a number of tuya-based door/window sensors that will turn off 3 seconds after sending an update to HA, as well as motion sensors that act the same way. For the last couple of years I have been manually changing the localtuya code to support this, but after updating to 3.5 from 3.2 today there are significant changes. Instead of re-writing everything again, can we add this to the main repo?

Previously in common.py I have this in class LocalTuyaEntity:

` async def async_added_to_hass(self): """Subscribe localtuya events.""" await super().async_added_to_hass()

    self.debug("Adding %s with configuration: %s", self.entity_id, self._config)

    state = await self.async_get_last_state()
    if state:
        self.status_restored(state)

    def _update_handler(status):
        """Update entity state when status was updated."""
        if status is not None:
            self._status = status
            self._last_seen = None
            self.status_updated()
        elif self._config_entry.data.get(CONF_PASSIVE_DEVICE):
            _LOGGER.debug("Passive device disconnected, keeping old state")
            self._last_seen = datetime.now()
        else:
            self._status = {}
            self._last_seen = None

        self.schedule_update_ha_state()

    signal = f"localtuya_{self._config_entry.data[CONF_DEVICE_ID]}"
    self.async_on_remove(
        async_dispatcher_connect(self.hass, signal, _update_handler)
    )

    state = await self.async_get_last_state()
    if not (state or self._config_entry.data.get(CONF_PASSIVE_DEVICE)):
        return

    last_seen = state.attributes.get(ATTR_LAST_SEEN)
    if last_seen:
        self._last_seen = datetime.fromisoformat(last_seen)
    self._status = state.attributes.get(ATTR_OLD_STATE, {})
    self.status_updated()`

In 3.5 I have started with this, but have not added the section after async_dispatcher_connect(...) because the flow of the first part is not right:

` async def async_added_to_hass(self): """Subscribe localtuya events.""" await super().async_added_to_hass()

    self.debug("Adding %s with configuration: %s", self.entity_id, self._config)

    state = await self.async_get_last_state()
    if state:
        self.status_restored(state)

    def _update_handler(status):
        """Update entity state when status was updated."""
        ## mod
        if self._config_entry.data.get(CONF_PASSIVE_DEVICE):
            _LOGGER.debug("Passive device disconnected, keeping old state")
            self._last_seen = datetime.now()
        elif status is None:
            status = {}
        if self._status != status:
            self._status = status.copy()
            if status:
                self.status_updated()
            self.schedule_update_ha_state()

    signal = f"localtuya_{self._config_entry.data[CONF_DEVICE_ID]}"

    self.async_on_remove(
        async_dispatcher_connect(self.hass, signal, _update_handler)
    )

    signal = f"localtuya_entity_{self._config_entry.data[CONF_DEVICE_ID]}"
    async_dispatcher_send(self.hass, signal, self.entity_id)

In config_flow.py I have also added vol.Required(CONF_PASSIVE_DEVICE, default=False): bool, to BASIC_INFO_SCHEMA, DEVICE_SCHEMA and options_schema ... return vol.Schema(){ ... }) as well as CONF_DEVICE_PASSIVE to .const import, and the necessary changes to init.py

Why was passive device support removed at all?
