Additional attribute to indicate the status of the last execution of an automation

[swoga]

Describe the feature

It is currently not possible to determine (outside of traces) whether the last execution of an automation was successful.
My suggestion would be to extend the automation.xxx entity with an attribute that indicates whether the last execution was successful.

Various proposals for the attribute:

• simple boolean, easy to trigger automation from, but without additional information: last_run_success: true | false
• full error string or null: last_run_error: null | string

Use cases

I want to be able to detect a failed execution and send a notification, for example.

Current workarounds

Anything else?

I think adding an automation_completed event would fit better (we have already automation_triggered) so it can be used with an event trigger

what about both ways?
I would like this information to be stored persistently, e.g. to be able to list all erroneous automations with auto-entities in an overview.
