Add Last Awake State for Battery Devices to UI

I imagine this would be relatively easy to implement and could be quite helpful / informative.
My thoughts are... when you hover over the zzz Icon, currently is says "Asleep." I think it would be fantastic if instead it would show the last time the node was awake. Similar to 'last active' but this would be beneficial if you wanted to change a nodes configuration or for healing purposes without going to manually wake the device or digging through logs looking for the last time it was awake.

Bonus thought but fairly irrelevant -- You could even calculate the nodes next awake time!

Thanks for reading and all the hard work and effort that has gone into this project! I absolutely love it and salute everyone involved!!

@trickiegt The already present last active column it's the same, I update it each time controller receives a packet from that device (so when device was awake)

Respectfully, last active and last awake are not the same. While yes, when a node wakes, the node will send data to the controller notifying the controller that it is awake. When that happens, the node is active and updates the last active state. However, for example, when a motion sensor detects motion... The sensor will relay information back to the controller telling it there was motion detected. When the controller receives this information, it will update the nodes last active timestamp. However, just because the node communicated with the controller does not mean the node was awake.

When nodes are awake, they can receive information from the controller.
When they are asleep, they can only send information to the controller.

I hope I'm not being rude, I truly do appreciate and respect all of your hard work and effort. It was just a thought and I can use Home Assistant to get the last wake time without digging through log files. So no worries, thanks again for this wonderful UI.

@robertsLando Similar to your last active column, you just need to have a value that's updated when the device status changes to awake.

Thanks for the intel guys -- in HA, you can easily see the history in the devices log list. I never looked at the events in node list, nor did I realize it is searchable... Very nice to know for future reference. I was just thinking it would be nice to see a quick detail on the main overview page that also took into account timezone data so I can avoid doing math =) Pretty much the exact same concept as "Last Active" But I would display the time when hovering over the zzz icon instead of it saying "Asleep"

Ok no problem I can do it. Only problem I see with this is that I will always start updating that field from when zui starts so if you restart zui you need your nodes to wake up in order to see a timestamp there (will not be persisted), like it happens for last active

[trickiegt]

That sounds fantastic, thanks for hearing me out and having interest in implementing it!

Always open to implement new features if them could be useful :)
