Color sensor support? #190

It would be amazing if this plugin had support for a color sensor. That way (at least for most colors) it could double check if the user swapped the filament. The sensors run something like 4-5 euro on aliexpress, that would be totally worth it for me.

I would be happy to sponsor you a sensor for development purposes as well. Just drop me a line if you think it's something you'd like to add.

The use case for is it that I'm terrible at remembering to switch the spools in filament manager when I switch colors.
