Change log

.. versionchanged:: 2.0
...
|added| 2019/04/05
Initial pre-alpha version of this plugin.
Description
-----------
This controller is a cache layer to collect data while not connected to a network.
The data will first be stored in RTC memory, which will survive a crash/reboot and even an OTA update.
If this RTC buffer is full, it will be flushed to whatever is set here as storage.
Data Format
-----------
Each time a plugin sends data to this controller, a sample set is stored.
A typical sample set contains:
- UNIX timestamp
- task index delivering the data
- 4 float values
Storage
-------
The controller can save the samples from RTC memory to several places on the flash:
- Files on SPIFFS
- Part reserved for OTA update (TODO)
- Unused flash after the partitioned space (TODO)
Data Delivery
-------------
The controller can deliver the data to:
- Upload bin files to some server (HTTP post?) (TODO)
- Provide a sample to any connected controller (TODO)
- Do nothing and let some extern host pull the data from the node. (TODO)
- JavaScript to process the data inside the browser. (TODO)
- Feed it to some plugin (e.g. a display to show a chart) (TODO)
