'CheckPresenceOnPing' keeps reenabling security zones when 'no one is at home'

[user45876]

When setting up CheckPresenceOnPing, it keeps reenabling the security zones, when nobody is at home (no device is reachable).
This can be problematic, as this causes a popup on every configured client and also spams the alarm log.

Expected behaviour would be that on 'noone is home' and already activated security zone, nothing is done.

Well, without actually knowing what I am doing - this does it for me, AFAICT. Straightened the outputs a little and added a timestamp in front for easier logging.

    for ip in SCANABLE_DEVICES:
        try:
