[Feature]Make victron nodes always send payload on node redeployment or system reboot #175

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

When there is a system reboot the node is not sending the payload value since there is technically no change in value, so items that depend on the value, for example a dashboard node, do not get an initial value.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

update the victron nodes so that when "send only on change" is selected, the payload is sent once initially when there is a system reboot or the node is redeployed. If not, at least add an option to select in the node settings to always send once initially even if "changes only" is selected.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

For now I am using the filter node instead of selecting "changes only" in the victron node. The filter node always sends the value upon system reboot.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.
