Determine light offline/online state?

Is there a way for a rule to be fired based on the offline/online state of a thing?

Looks like it is working now:

Using Hue ONLINE / OFFLINE Events in rules

Recent updates (Spring 2017) have allowed using Thing Status Info changes in rules. I was able to use these new features to fix a lighting problem in my Frankenhouse (the light switch only controlled 1 electrical outlet, the others are always on). Using hue lights with the below rules, I now have lights responding to the physical switch (where they weren’t responding before). Note: that there can be a delay of about a minute between flipping the switch, and having all the lights turn on / off…

Tried that successfully with my hue things …
