Full Changelog

This is the first release of 0.5 series which includes converting the code base towards more modular approach where device-exposed modules (e.g., emeter, antitheft, or schedule) are implemented in their separate python modules to decouple them from the device-specific classes.

There should be no API breaking changes, but some previous issues hint that there may be as information from all supported modules are now requested during each update cycle (depending on the device type):

• Basic system info
• Emeter
• Time - properties (like on_since) use now time from the device for calculation to avoid jitter caused by different time between the host and the device
• Usage statistics - similar interface to emeter, but reports on-time statistics instead of energy consumption (new)
• Countdown (new)
• Antitheft (new)
• Schedule (new)
• Motion - for configuring motion settings on some dimmers (new)
• Ambientlight - for configuring brightness limits when motion sensor actuates on some dimmers (new)
• Cloud - information about cloud connectivity (new)

For developers, the new functionalities are currently only exposed through the implementation modules accessible through modules property.
Pull requests improving the functionality of modules as well as adding better interfaces to device classes are welcome!
