User Fred.Blo created a new approach to make this flow concept even more easy to setup. Big shoutout for that!

This will make it more easy to set it up initially. It also helps to have a cleaner looking Flow. There is one part of the Flow, that can be added seperately. It is an error handling mechanism for the Bridge timeout, "Event_Sender"

- Existing Subflows (Light, Button & Motion Sensor receivers) are now 'configurable' for easier integration in existing system
83+
• ID / RID is set in insert node config
84+
- New subflow added 'Light Sender' to send commands to lamps easily, using node config :
85+
• ID / RID is set in inserted node config
86+
• type of light (light point or group of light)
87+
- The 'bridge link' (receiver & sender) was revamped:
88+
• single centralized grouped nodes for all calls
89+
• handles 'overflows of calls' (i.e. when the HUE bridge refuses calls because it rate is > 5/sec, they are queued for repeat)
90+
• a return value is sent to allow continuing the flow after command was sent
91+
- removed / merged the 'technical' subflows (only used in configuration part to find the ID's / RID's
92+
- A bit of 'UI'
93+
• Re-organized nodes in groups to make it easier reading / configuring / accessing
94+
• Some comments are directly readable without opening them (i.e. double click on it)
95+
• added output names to subflows to easily know what to expect as output when reading flow using such nodes (without having to open subflow)
