It’s easy by just doing something like this:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: gpio
    # ...
    on_state:
      then:
        - if:
            condition:
              api.connected:
            then:
              - logger.log: "We are going full detached now because the api is connected"
              - homeassistant.event: esphome.button_pressed # action when api is connected
            else:
              - logger.log: "No api connection - let's solve things locally"
              - light.toggle: younameit
