[Feature]: more comprehensive filter possibility with web_socket #163
Description
Describe the feature
from the documentation, it is possible with web_socket to filter certain devices, but not certain circuits.
(extract)
def on_open(ws):
print("WebSocket connection opened")
msg = {"cmd": "filter", "devices": ["do", "ao"]}
ws.send(json.dumps(msg))Would it be possible to filter certain devices/circuits?
say:
msg = {"cmd": "filter", "devices": {"do": ["1_01", "1_02"], "ao": ["1_01"]}}
Why?
It seems that i am getting a lot of 1_12 input changes, even when the input is made high.
On some cases i have 4 web_sockets on one unipi and i would like to limit trafic to the inputs/outputs that are in use and nothing from the others.
Use case
less network traffic for non used circuits

This is a very useful feature. But I think it might be better to group devices and then add the ability to filter based on these groups.
For example create a Kitchen group with devices like lights, switches, thermometers. etc. And then set the WS filter only for this room. What do you think?

Any way of filtering a group of things is useful as unused inputs can occasionally generate a lot of traffic.
Today, when you use analog input 1_01, then sometimes the unused analog input 1_02 start to generate a lot of traffic oscillating between 0,01 and 0,0. Could be avoided with filtering.
So your suggestion of using a group of devices to filter is perfectly fine i think.
Other solution is to unfilter devices such as the ai,1_02 when they are not used in the application.
