Discussion: `DustbinStates.full` is translated to state `ERROR` which might be misleading

This is more a discussion piece than an actual issue.

For me as a user - which might possibly ignore the robots request to empty the dustbin from time to time (🙈) - it is kind of misleading that homeassistant will report a full dustbin as state ERROR, as the robot is technically still operational - albeit with obviously reduced cleaning performance.

I'm bringing this up mainly because it makes it hard to distinguish between states which need immidiate action - ie. the robot getting stuck somewhere - and states which are less problematic - such as a full dustbin.

What do you think? I guess it would be best to have a seperate state, but HA does not support this. Maybe i just have to create a custom UI which differentiates based on the attribute.
