In some cases, multiple device info update events are triggering,
causing the queue to be flooded with multiple unneccessary messages containing the same info.
This clogs the queue and makes it harder for UIs to come online when Essentials restarts,
especially in systems with a lot of NVX devices.
The events are now debounced. If there are no new messages for 1 second, then the MC message
is sent out.
Added the `ILightingScenesDynamic` interface to add an event for devices that support retrieving scene data from the lighting system at runtime. Also added the `sortOrder` property for the `LightingScene` type to allow for control over the sort order of scenes on the UI
In order to match up with how existing front-end apps are expecting to
recieve data for devices that implement the `IHasInputs<T>` interface,
there is now an IHasInputsMessengers that is implemented for devices
that implement `IHasInputs<string>`, `IHasInputs<int>` or
`IHasInputs<byte>` interfaces.
In order to satisfy the requirements for the `MessengerBase` class, the
`ISelectableItemsMessenger` class needs to take an `IHasInputs<T>`, as that is
the device that implements `IKeyName`. We may want to consider adding a
`IHasInputsMessenger` specifically for those devices that implement that
interface vs the `ISelectableItemsMessenger`.
The `RoutingPortCollection` type appears to not be currently
serializable. If a class that contains this collection is going to be
serialized, the collection should have the `JsonIgnore` attribute added.
If the list is needed, use a conversion object and convert it to a
regular list.
In order to prevent eventual version collision and confusion, and to
allow for deprecation of existing packages, the names of the MC packages
are now reflective of the fact that they are no longer
pluginsbuild(force-patch): change names of MC packages
In order to prevent eventual version collision and confusion, and to
allow for deprecation of existing packages, the names of the MC packages
are now reflective of the fact that they are no longer plugins.
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.
