Hi, and thank you for building bt-mqtt-gateway. It is almost working perfect! I missing a few options.

The first thing is the set the timeout for per_device_timeout. Since MiFlora are not the fastest bluetooth device, it can sometime take about 30 seconds before they response. When I change this variable in const.py to 30. It is working.

The second thing I would like to add is the "last_seen" option. After each update of a device I would like to add the last_seen option. For example "last_seen":"2020-04-25T19:52:53+01:00". So you can check when the bt_mqtt_gateway has scant the device for the last time. This can be an handy indicator is some device stops responding. This option is also available at zigbee2mqtt, see: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/configuration.html
