New internal message types

[chrille]

Since it's now possible to have sensors on the gateway and there seems to be a slight shift towards using more advanced hardware (Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ARM based) I think it would be great to have some additional internal message types to report various internal data from both gateway and sensor nodes. So far I considered the following types

I_WIFI_RSSI - signal strenght from wifi network (dBm)
I_RADIO_RSSI - signal strengh from radio (dBm)
I_MEMORY - free memory (bytes)
I_UPTIME - uptime (seconds)
I_CPULOAD - CPU load (%)
I_VCC - supply voltage (volt)

Maybe you can add this to a new issue on github, things tends to be lost when posted on the forum.

Adding I_BATTERY_VOLTAGE to complement the existing I_BATTERY_LEVEL, along with a convenience function to send the voltage would be a real nice to have!
