Feature Request: Preserve additional device parameters

Hi,

Looking at the log it seems sonoffs send additional interesting information that is not persisted. For example: MAC, RSSI, startup state of the switch. Additionally TH10/TH16 will send sensor’s data (if connected).

Here are device update requests:

// sonoff (update req #1) > server
{  
   "userAgent":"device",
   "apikey":"111111111-1111-1111-1111-11111111111",
   "deviceid":"10000xxxx",
   "action":"update",
   "params":{  
      "switch":"off",
      "fwVersion":"2.0.4",
      "rssi":-52,
      "staMac":"5C:CF:7F:42:90:EF",
      "startup":"off"
   }
}

// sonoff (update req #1) > server
{  
   "userAgent":"device",
   "apikey":"111111111-1111-1111-1111-11111111111",
   "deviceid":"10000dba6b",
   "action":"update",
   "params":{  
      "currentTemperature":"21",
      "currentHumidity":"28",
      "sensorType":"AM2301"
   }
}

Can you please preserve these fields in device’s object? Because these fields may vary from device to device, one possible solution will be to store them (as they appear) under a new property “params” in the WS:Update code. For example:

device.params = device.params || {};
						
Object.keys(data.params).forEach(function(p) {
	device.params[p] = data.params[p];
});

Of course other suggestions are welcome 😃

Also it will be useful to include a property that keeps the date/time of last contact - like a timestamp. It will allow us to detect if the device haven’t reported for xyz minutes.

Hi, the repo can be found here => https://github.com/saryn/node-red-contrib-sonoff-server I also created a pull request a week ago, to switch to a newer version, where I merged some of his changes into my version. So version 1.1.1 should contain all of his changes. 1.1.2 should also fix some problems that were still in his version. For npm => I do not know how to change that. Its belonging to @saryn

for git repo url it would be

“repository”: “github:mdopp/simple-sonoff-server”

Sorry, I really haven’t done that before, and want to make it right
