Synching device status

Integration name

Syncthing

Describe the enhancement

Currently Synching reports the status of folders, but not the state of a device. E.g. a folder may be synced on your end but you do not know if its being received by a device.

By adding a device as a sensor it is possible to see if has been disconnected for a prolong period of time. Especially helpful as the SERVER_UNAVAILIBLE doesnt always report correctly, and multiple devices can receive one folder.

Use cases

Having a sensor to report the device status will allow users to verify that the data is being sent/received.

Anything else?

Device status can easily be-received as is via:

url = f"{self.host}/rest/system/connections"
headers = {"X-API-Key": self.api_key}
