Condition if home assistant is offline

ESPHome
1

Hi guys,
I have esp8266 devices with relays and esphomelib firmware.
In my setup when I press a button switch on the philips hue lights and skip the integrate relay.
I wanted to do this because it’s more beautiful as an effect.
The only problem is that if the home assistant is not active I cannot switch on the lights in the house …
how can I create a condition where, if the esp8266 device does not detect home assistant server and when the button is pressed, the relays are activated or deactivated?

This is my configuration, thanks
