Add msg.topic pull to force update from SmartThings #52

Closed Deltachaos closed 3 years ago

Deltachaos commented 3 years ago

As discussed in #1 and in #47 it is sometimes useful to force the refresh of the status from SmartThings instead of just output the current cached status.

This PR adds this functionality while maintaining fully backwards compatibility by adding a new topic for this task.

Have you tried the webhook? Is it working?

Because the current state of all devices should be reported as it happens using the webhook.

It's less expensive than pulling the device.

I know the webhook and it is working is cases where you can make your installation reachable from the internet. But there are cases where you cannot do this or where you need the current status of a device only so rarely that it doesn't justify the effort to create the webhook.
