Useful Hints

• Device online heartbeat timeout is ~5 minutes, so even though online status is registered within ~30 seconds, official offline status is registered within the heartbeat timeout
• status function values (switch_*, colour_data_*, etc.) have their values updated instantaniously, so they can be used to determine a device's responsiveness
• Most light bulbs (dj) consume ~30 Watts in white mode, and <~30 Watts in colour mode
• Power sockets (cz) report down to at least ~32 Watts as measurable power consumption
