v3.1.16 in beta, re-writes of most nodes

[sjenkins]

Decided to start the rewrite ; mostly this is modernising the coding of the plugin, but a few features come along for the ride.

Controller:

• re-written to be more pythonic
• Status which is meant to indicate if connected was never working right, on at start, off with stop / delete.  If you monitor, it can be useful.  I use it on folders to switch between my beta, local, and production versions of programs.
• Monitor the control version of ST for heartbeat.
• added NumberofNodes which may be useful to some

Garage

• In the continuing roll out of control, the garage device added it for motor, motion, obstruction.
• will get its rewrite next version, lots to do here

Switch

• added TOGGLE, as a receive command, the send will be DON or DOF, let me know how useful
• re-written to be more pythonic, logging should be much less noisy
• persistence is now using the polyglot management instead of individual files
• for those watching, the first run will use the file data then store it with polyglot, then delete the file

Generic / dimmer

• didn't add a TOGGLE but could; thoughts?
• same as switch for re-write, logging, persistence
• much improved behaviour from 3.1.15 for remembering on level, won't get messed up by double off or fast off/on

Temp / TempC / TempRC (curious if anyone uses these still?)

• poly persistence
• re-write, logging
• consolidated into a single file, still configured as separate, for backward compatibility

TEST IT OUT & Give me some feedback people!!!
