Feature Request: service call to kill/forget wasp

[andreasbrett]

As discussed over on Discord. In some cases I want to kill a wasp when the WIAB sensor got stuck (wasp not detected anymore but door is closed). It is very rare for a room to be occupied when there was no motion for more than x hours. Having a service call to reset/forgot/kill the wasp would help in those cases.

Sounds like a nice idea, possibly paired with a "wasp timeout" option.

[andreasbrett]

Well, wasp timeout was what I was initially thinking but then you mentioned in Discord that a wasp kill switch would be easier to implement. I'm happy with either or both solutions... 🤪

Currently I added a fake template door sensor that I open to let the wasp escape. Works but rather hacky.

[jseidl]

😂 That's true. It is simpler but since I'm there... Ya know

[andreasbrett]

That's the spirit

First PR is out, all works in tests but I haven't tested "For real" yet #550

Do you know any other scenario where you would manually kill the wasp? Thinking if a service call would be needed or not. If not I can just merge this once I'm done testing.

[andreasbrett]

No, I don't think there's any other reason to kill the wasp than floppy state and timeouts which the PR covers.

Implemented as wasp timeout.
