Datatype for duration is not clear #206

Closed rhierlmeier closed 4 years ago

rhierlmeier commented 4 years ago

I think specficiation does not clearly define what datatype a property with duration payload has. Is the datatype string?

homie / device123 / mythermostat / open-duration→ PT10s
homie / device123 / mythermostat / open-duration/ $name → Open duration
homie / device123 / mythermostat / open-duration/ $unit → duration
homie / device123 / mythermostat / open-duration/ $datatype → string
homie / device123 / mythermostat / open-duration/ $settable → true

Datatype should be "duration" and unit (which is optional) should not be present.

all messages are sent using payloads as strings
