Zigbee2mqtt: Error reporting in MQTT message

[pepp86]

Hi,

is it possible to report error from devices within the MQTT message? For example if the server responds with "Mac no ack" while trying to switch a device?

If so, my home automation can trigger on that and report the issue to me or try to switch on/off again.

Great idea! Would be very helpful. Not sure if it's better to have this on a per-device basis or globally. For my use-case it would be better to have an error message in the log subtree rather than having one additional error attribute for each device (as I would have to configure my home automation system to watch for ALL of them).

Looks good, will use that in my smart home setup. Thanks for this rapid implementation!

Great! Awesome fast Implementation.

Now I only need to get the dev tree up and running on my environment :-)
