Hunter Douglas shade plugin version 0.1.1

[sjenkins]

The biggest change here is to take advantage of the Pushing of events from the gateway, while still Polling every so often as belt/suspenders.  This allows scenes to indicate they are active and shades to be updated closer to real time which indicating when in motion.  Some cleaning up of the code to make it more reliable.  Deleted parameters from being displayed ; still have to get to the input side without making a node for every shade type.

Enjoy, & please give feedback!

 Also to remind that this ONLY works on V3 (G3) gateways.  Sorry but older V2 (G2) are a different API and I do not believe they push events.

 

Polling:  Full update of shade and scene datae loaded from the gateway
    - happens at start-up and LongPoll
    - really should just be the extra belt/suspenders as the Push should catch all/most events.  
    - program limited to no faster than once per 3s
    - suggest 60s for LongPoll
    
Pushing: Data is pushed from the gateway and regularly checked
    - updates are checked for every ShortPoll
    - includes Motion-Started, Motion-Stopped, Scene-Activated, Scene-Deactivated, and Shade-Online (pushed infrequently, likely as a keep-alive for the push stream)
    - suggest 5s for ShortPoll
