In order to help control traffic over the websocket, a subscription feature has been added:
* A config option, `enableMessengerSubscriptions` has been added
* When true, the MessengerBase class will assume that any message sent using the `PostStatusMessage` that has a valid client ID wants to send any subsequent unsolicited updates to that same client
* The client's ID will be added a list of subscribed client IDs
* Any subsequent messages sent using the `PostStatusMessage` methods that have a null clientId will ONLY be sent to subscribed clients
* When a client disconnects, it will be removed from the list of subscribed clients
This should cut down drastically on the traffic to the UI, especially when combined with requesting partial status updates from a device rather than the entire state.
Changed the logic for identifying v2 configuration files. The check now looks for the presence of a "versions" node instead of the absence of "system" or "template" nodes, reflecting an update in the configuration file structure.
Introduce `Versions` property in `EssentialsConfig` to hold version information.
Add `VersionData` class for Essentials and package versions, and `NugetVersion` class for individual package details.
Retain and document `SystemTemplateConfigs` class.
Refactor config handling and improve documentation
- Updated `PortalConfigReader.cs` to use constants for configuration keys, enhancing maintainability and readability. Improved error logging with `Debug.LogError`.
- Modified `ConfigReader.cs` to handle v2 configuration format, streamlining the loading process and avoiding redundant parsing.
- Added XML documentation comments to properties in `EssentialsConfig.cs`, improving code documentation. Initialized `Rooms` property in the constructor.
- Enhanced `SystemTemplateConfigs` class with XML documentation for better clarity on its properties.
- Introduced `HideInUi` property in `EssentialsRoomCombinerPropertiesConfig` to control UI visibility.
- Added `HideInUi` interface property in `IEssentialsRoomCombiner`.
- Implemented `HideInUi` in `RoomCombinationScenario`, along with new `Key` and `Name` properties for improved data representation.
There are situations now where feedbacks in the feedback collection
can be used to update things on UIs. If the feedback doesn't have a key, it can't
be used for this purpose.
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.
