This means the SIP endpoint is defined in sip.conf, but no device is
registered; which is consistent with phones being turned off.

It should be ${HANGUPCAUSE} . So you can use something like
Gotoif($[${HANGUPCAUSE}=20]?subs_absent)
in your dialplan, and it will go to the label (subs_absent) if the Dial()
fails for "cause 20 - Subscriber Absent". Then you can play a
recorded
announcement, or send them to voicemail.
