Seems doable. When we do the API call for the CT reading one of the fields which comes back is:
clampReadingAt: 1704276225190
(or converted) clampReadingAt: 2024-01-03T10:03:45.190Z

I could do a binary sensor so:
If we haven't heard from the charger in over a minute, assume its down?

Is there not an API field for online/offline or a heartbeat? Not all chargers support CT clamps, and if they do they aren't always fitted.

dan-r commented

There is indeed. There's an 'online' boolean field in the same response. I'll put that in

Excellent

All done and v0.3.0 up. Would you mind testing it out a bit and reporting back? Should update every minute.

Appears to work fine, seems to be a slight lag but that is fine, that's probably at the Ohme end anyway

Good to hear, I'll close this for now, re-open it if you have any more issues.
