Feature request - ability to read registers directly via REST API #56

Open springfall2008 opened 1 year ago

Currently via REST you can only force a entire refresh of the register set (runAll), but you can't read a particular register

Could we have it so that you can read a register directly?

Being able to write directly would also be nice, but I understand the risk of breaking stuff maybe too high.

The agreement with GE is not to allow unfettered register writing in GivTCP, its just too dangerous!

If there's anything you'd like to control, then I can look at adding it, if appropriate

I’d like to be able to read back a register value to check a write was successful. Right now I force a full refresh and the check the JSON data. I don’t think direct writes are required as such.

In terms of controls, I think the REST API has most stuff now, although there is something a bit odd with Eco mode where tries to change the reserve to a saved value. I'd prefer if the interface change one register at once and didn't depend at all on the GivTCP cache.
