v3.1.10 in beta

[sjenkins]

So far the crowd has been quiet, this update may get some interest.  I have so far not pushed to production to keep churn low.  Other than garage, up until this version there was not really any features added.  This one adds what I would call improvements of current features for the temperature crowd.  Please give a try as I will likely push to production after a few days if no problems arise.

1. ALL: I rewrote all the nodes to mostly clean the code up and make it more readable; aka updateable 
2. TEMP: need some feedback from the temperature folks as I like the changes but I use it for a couple of simple applications.
   • The updates are now on the shortPoll, so much faster.  The only irritant is when using the pull downs you need to be quick on the button or it will revert to actual.  Let me know how irritating as I can likely do something there.
   • I always thought how the range was done on startup or stats/database wipe was odd.  No update until next change. it now updates with the first temp value.  Let me know if this breaks someone's programs.
   • the updates from the variables come in immediately as well; instead of waiting for the next change
   • FEATURE QUESTION:  any interest to use the JSON or YAML configurations to set the variables & conversions up when loaded?  We could use this feature to clean up the screen on the IoX admin screen, just means the settings are static.  Would likely do a parallel device like temperature_clean to keep it a non-breaking feature.  Please let me know.
3. SWITCHES, DIMMERS/GENERICS was significantly rewritten but functionally should be no change
4. GARAGE, which I don't know if anyone but me is using currently was both rewritten and some fixes put in.  Working on event rather than polling updates.  more to come.
5. DOCS updated.  Called the temprc node "depreciated" as it is EXACTLY the same as tempc, same thing goes for the generic versus the dimmer.  No code changes, nor am I deleting the other, just a curious relic & wanted to generate some discussion.  SHOULD there be differences?   Anyone know why they are there?

PLEASE GIVE THE GIFT OF FEEDBACK!

Hi. Just saw this and installed the beta. I’m just using switches but I’ll test that portion a bit.
