FWIW, I am planning on writing a small java library to handle the API
changes and let others re-use the code.

Mostly shuffling some elements around into other groups, such as
lat/lon/address into the contact group[1], removing the open/closed
icons and fields in lieu of a general purpose status group[2], and
changing the sensor structure[3].

None of these changes have left the discussion stage yet, which is why
I'm asking for feedback.
