Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

My request is for the ability to override the status that the ESP reports to the MCU so that it'll display the "WiFi unavailable" status. And, obviously, to be able to revert back to the normal behavior.

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

I have [a device](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHQW516R) that is Tuya based. It has an LED that turns red when the WiFi connection is unavailable and I'd like to be able to use it for my own status purposes. Reading the Tuya MCU data sheet and the [ESPHome Tuya implementation](https://esphome.io/api/classesphome_1_1tuya_1_1_tuya.html#abd84a7c4d8204861392efaa4d62691d0), it appears that the ESP tells the Tuya MCU what the WiFi status is, so if I could have ESPHome report that the WiFi is not available, then the status indicator would show red when desired.
