[issue #890] Split overlap for both Domoticz controllers to helper

[TD-er]

Both Domoticz controllers had quite some overlap in code.
And where they differ, one of them was faulty and/or already fixed.

Now this overlap is split into a Domoticz helper file to keep code duplication to a minimum.

See #890

Nice idea, no code duplication and always fix in one place, and for domoticz only transport is different data are same.

I also sneaked in some new feature for use with Domoticz :)

If VCC define is set, it will also output the battery level. Might also be nice to have for net powered devices I guess to see if the power supply is sufficient.

@TD-er Can you please explain me how to send the Battery level to domoticz as you described above? It is possible but i don't know what i have to do to enable it. Sorry

[TD-er]

You only have to use a firmware that has the VCC defined.
If you want to compile yourself, just define FEATURE_ADC_VCC as true

[jannnfe]

Thanks for your reply. So I do not have to do anything else except activate VCC? No special cabling or activate a device? Thanks for your help. Sorry if I ask something stupid.

[TD-er]

Nope, it should be sent along with either Domoticz HTTP or Domoticz MQTT.
Both include the "battery level" with each message.

You can test by adding a generic plugin to output vcc, just to see if it is active and usable.
Of use %vcc% somewhere in rules or a display.
