v1.20: utility node enhancements

(Thanks @steves2j)

Utility node now allows claiming and renaming of a supported Particle device.

v1.1.0: SSE disconnect fix

As reported in #16, SSEs will disconnect after a long period of time, or more particularly when client drops out from a network and does not automatically reconnect.

Two workarounds are applied:

1. Added listener to reconnect when stream ends
2. Added a keepalive interval to force reconnects every 5 minutes – this should ensure SSEs remain connected even if above stream end event does not fire

v1.0.3

Changelog

• More stringent checks on field limits and conversion to Strings before sending to Particle Cloud
• Updated documentation and validation for field limits

v1.0.2

Changelog

• Fix ParticleVar emit scope error
• Update README.md with specific upgrade instructions
• SSEs: don't call encodeURIComponent for devprodslug

SSE: remove URI encoding from event name

Changelog

• merged PR #15

v1.0.0: Particle JS API + Product support

• Adopts the Particle JS API
• Product support (use Device ID instead of Device name)
• New Utility node now provides handy utilities:
  • listDevices
  • getDevice
  • signalDevice
• Verbose Logging option no more (see Breaking Changes below)
• Node names shortened
• Node label appearances do not change when node properties are dynamically updated by upstream messages
• Removed debug comment that exposes access token in logs (!)

BREAKING CHANGES:

• Node name changes – your existing Particle nodes will need to be set up again. Sorry.
• For consistency with Particle JS API, nodes now directly pass the returned result from Particle as a JSON object
• Verbose Logging removed – adopting Node-RED's logging system to provide trace/debug/log details
• ParticlePublish 'shortcut' mode changed: passing in message with payload and no topic will set new data parameter into ParticlePublish node and trigger the event

TODO:

• Webhooks
• Utility node is currently meant for information retreival; in the future it might provide options to edit device names, claim/unclaim, access token access
