[Project] Device Health Status [Tuya, Aqara, Ikea, Sonoff, Lidl and others]

The Zigbee Repeaters online/offline status was a bit difficult to track. These devices typically don't need a driver - they operate when simply paired to HE as a 'device'. The HE inbuilt driver "Ikea TRADFRI Signal Repeater" does not have any polling implemented and does not send any events to the hub, thus the 'Last Activity' and the HE 'Status' properties are not handled properly and HE reported the repeater as 'INACTIVE'. This is the first of the series of the popular Markus's drivers where …

Note, that this driver will not show which device uses it as a repeater and what is the link quality, but only the repeater's online/offline status to HE hub.
