In mySensors-API a function sendHeartbeat() is implemented. When calling this from sensor node I expect that I could see a message for this in the log of pimatic, but I can not see one. Is this not implemented?

@Heizelmann As far as I can see this has not been been implemented. If it is just about logging the received heartbeat this could be added easily to the ugly switch block of the _rfReceived handler. However, the question is if a heartbeat response needs to be sent to make the sending device happy.

In my opinion it would be nice to forward the heartbeat event to the pimatic device object so that it can be used in a rule to observe if the sensor node is still alive. But it is not so important cause any other message type can be used for this as workaround. Would be only for completeness.
