This commit introduces significant updates to the device factory system, enhancing the way devices are created and managed within the PepperDash Essentials framework.
The changes include:
- New attributes for device configuration and description.
- Refactoring of the device manager and essentials device classes to support new factory methods.
- modified factory classes for essentials devices, plugin development devices, and processor extension devices.
- The device factory interface has been updated to include a factory method for creating devices.
- Added a wrapper for the device factory to streamline device creation.
- Updated plugin loader to accommodate the new device factory structure.
Fixes#1065Fixed#1277
In order to solve some dependency issues that keep cropping up, MC
should be moved back into the Essentials repo and loaded automatically
on startup. This will allow for all plugins that use the MC Messengers
library to use the same version without fear of overwriting a dll due to
loading of plugin libraries.
In order to facilitate using custom messengers, I added an interface, `IStandardMobileControl` that devices or rooms can implement if they should use the standard/existing MobileControl messengers. If a room or device wants to implement non-standard messengers, or is a new type of device that doesn't yet have a corresponding messenger in the Mobile Control plugin, do NOT implement this interface and MC won't attempt to build a messenger for it.
