fix: check EISC for null prior to using

In some scenarios, it becomes necessary to have a plugin in Essentials use a Communications method that's defined in
SIMPL and bridged the opposite from what normally happens. The CommBridge method facilitates that sort of operation.

To use it: set the method in the Control configuration for the device to 'comBridge'. The bridge will be built with a key of "{deviceKey}-simpl", so it can be added to a bridge using that key.
