Prevent sending values if update too frequent

[WinndyBoy]

I'm updating the SensorDimmer->setPercentage() when a button is held, and currently a message is being sent to the network on every change.

I suggest enhancing the Child::sendValue some how so that if values change quicker than say 5 seconds (configurable) then these messages arn't sent until things have settled. Perhaps the SensorDimmer is a special case and sending messages can be prevented somewhere else, but though I'd mention it for feedback.

I think it makes sense but I'd not touch Child; probably I'd add a sort of debounce at the specific sensor which may suffer from this. Thanks!

Thanks for the confirmation, thats what I've done with the SensorDimmer and probably I'll take my changes out and put them into an extended class. Can share later what I did. By sort of debounce do you mean a timer which waits until no changes are made for say 5 seconds and only then writes the value to the ChildInt or other ? This is what I did... or is there another simpler way.

Yes, something like setInterruptDebounce() from #322 which is basically ignoring further interrupts for a given timeframe
