Enhancement of OHM Platform

@depl0y

Not sure if this is possible.

I have used OHM for a number of years and was elated to see a component for HA. Thanks for your hard work on this.

I monitor two computers that are not always on. I have found that the OHM sensors won’t initialize unless the computer is on (obviously) but don’t initialize when a computer is turned on after the sensor has made its initial observation that the OHM instance is unavailable.

Is it possible to tie a device trackers state to the OHM sensor? If the associated device tracker comes “home” in HA then the sensor starts. If the device tracker changes to not_home the sensor would stop looking for updates until the device is home again.

Hey,

HA has the option to retry sensors since 0.48.1 (or 0.48?), so this should be possible. I will create an update for the sensor to support this. Let me check if I can get this included in one of the next updates.
