Recommendations on lost connection detection (#8441)
* Recommendations on lost connection detection After implementing the second option to detect lost connection I almost immediately ran into the issue that due to a network issue the connection between HASS and CCU was lost but HASS did not detect it.

Even though this option might look preferrable to many since it does not rely on a sensor, **it is less fail-safe** than checking for updates of a sensor. Since the variable on the CCU is only changed on boot, any problem that causes the connection between Home Assistant and the CCU to break but will not result in a reboot will not be detected (eg. in case of networking issues). This is how this can be done:
