Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have problems to verify whether the shown data is valid or outdated. It is maybe related to the #82 or the AP is not responding in the right way.

Describe the solution you'd like
a visible sign that the TTL is overdue and you should not trust the data. Like a red icon or a red thin frame.

Describe alternatives you've considered
look at the AP webinterface, search for the tag and verify the data manually.

Additional context
The weather forecast and current weather are sometimes tricky to determine. Maybe it is easier to add an date overlay, like cameras do.

This would be a very useful feature. Sometimes it's better to show "I don't know" instead of outdated information.

A possible solution or alternative to an overlay icon would be to define tag-content that is to be shown when no update has arrived after TTL.

I'm going to close this one, sorry. The tag FW itself already has a mechanism if it doesn't get any data from the AP: it'll display a 'no connection'-icon in the upper right corner
