No description provided.

So that the configured value in Node-RED takes precedence
Adds the ability to connect/disconnect a virtual device from DBus at
runtime using msg.connected = true/false, allowing flows to control
device visibility when real-world data stops arriving.

- node.setPresence() calls bus.releaseName/requestName to toggle DBus
  presence without re-exporting the interface
- msg.connected is stamped on all output messages to reflect current
  presence state
- Start disconnected config option (default: false)
- Grey ring node status when intentionally offline
- Documentation updated in node help text
Allows flipping the current presence state without knowing it upfront,
useful for a single inject node or switch that alternates on each trigger.
@dirkjanfaber dirkjanfaber added this to the v3.80 milestone Feb 25, 2026
