Ink levels etc. not remembered when printer is offline

[kersten-lohmeyer]

First, let me thank you for this great addon, that I used for some years now.

But the new version does not show ink levels etc. when the printer is offline. Why?
This was much better in the 1.x version.

Of course I turn my printer off when I don't need it (Electricity prices are very expensive in Germany). But I still want to see the ink levels etc. that were reported when the printer was online the last time.

Can this be configured somehow?

Also you shouldn't use Google Translate because there's a way better option: DeepL
Just on a side note. It's not important to me how the entities are named once configured.

Thanks

this is as designed, when the printer goes down, it has no data to present, therefore the sensor goes to Unknown state,
most of the integrations acts like that when the original device goes down,
since some ppl will consider it as the right behaviour and some will say it should store up until the next restart (after restart if there is no connection, there is no way to restore last state) - i can add toggle in configuration that will allow to store last state when printers go down, will it work for you?

regarding translations, if you have better suggestion, open to hear about in another thread, including example or PR :)

This would be awesome and well worth a donation! 😉

Regarding translations: Someone already took care of that here: #138
