Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
Battery powered devices need to go back to sleep as soon as possible. But they need to make sure the data has been sent. Currently there is no way to know, so you have to wait long enough that you hope it's been sent.
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
Waiting for a long time or checking that the communication method is up and then forcing an update.
**Additional context**
Needs to work for api, mqtt, and (when it's added) esp-now.
Particularly needed for Tuya devices since the MCU will turn off the power when the data is acknowledged or if it takes too long. See https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/1389
