BLE Transmitter turn_off doesn't reflect in the sensor state
See original GitHub issueIs your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the amazing feature of Ble Transmitter supports a command to turn it on an off. Which indeed turns it on and off. But once It’s been turned on and you proceed to turn it off with the command the Application won’t change the state of the ble_transmitter
sensor because what the command actually did was disable the sensor.
Describe the solution you’d like
Ideally turning off the sensor from the command should stop transmitting but report to the application that It’s not transmitting. So we can use the state of the ble transmitter for automation logic.
Describe alternatives you’ve considered, if any
I think a good idea would be adding a toggle inside the sensor which determines if It’s transmitting or not. Or maybe add another option to the transmit power that is 0 power, so no transmitting.

@dshokouhi - yeah it’s a tricky one. If enabled did not start the trasnmitter by default we wouldn’t need the enable all switch. But that would be a bit counter intuitive.
I’ll see what it looks like with both options.
