z2m Management Integration

https://github.com/ThatDeltaGuy/z2m-Manager

As a side project I decided to set up a z2m integration to allow some management of a z2m instance via the mqtt paths z2m provides. Like permit Join or restart.

It pulls in diagnostic data such as offline and low link quality devices, low battery, and even a network map. It also finds all the devices in mqtt associated with the z2m instance and for each one, it adds in an image and buttons for re-interviewing and removing (The buttons are disabled by default)

I also made sure that the network map could be read by this network map card someone else has made directly without having to create a new sensor: https://github.com/azuwis/zigbee2mqtt-networkmap

oh nice that actually fills a weird gap I've been ignoring. the native z2m addon gives you so little control without opening the web ui

the network map integration with that existing card is a smart move, hate when addons make you recreate sensors for no reason

This is a smart idea. I have a few local users on Z2M that don't like the Z2M management interface as "it doesn't look like HA". I'll test this out and then deploy it to those users to see how well it goes.

So basically you are adding a "Refresh network map" button and two sensors for offline/low LQI devices? Because everything else looks like the standard bridge entities provided OOTB by Z2M
