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.
