ok, just to recap what i am seeing here. 1. we would like a backend to be able to signal a frontend when a button or sensor is tripped.
2. if the backend is polled, it needs a way to request the polling interval. 3. the stati are generally not accessed via a separate command for each sensor, but instead, there is one command that gets a bitmask from the scanner. 4. we would like as many of these sensors as possible to have well-known names so that a front-end could set sane (pun intended) defaults. allan -- "so don't tell us it can't be done, putting down what you don't know. money isn't our god, integrity will free our souls" - Max Cavalera
