Resets may occur by unplugging the stick or calling a softReset() from
the software side.
Additionally resets the stick when 5 subsequent timeouts happen
as there are firmwares of the CC2652 available which tend to
crash occationally.
This is basically the same as #41 does with ZDO replies but for ZCL replies.
Working with a z-stack dongle and a Gewiss binary input device a lot of
timeouts happen during the device interview. While basic device interview
timeouts are caught by the ZDO timeouts, later interview steps like
cluster attribute reading run into the same issue with this device and
the interview process never finishes.
Instead of having 2 methods (setAttribute and addOrUpdateAttribute)
to allow specific cluster implementations to override behavior,
merge them into one, setAttribute, and use standard C++ syntax for
calling a base class implementation.
This patch separates the transactionSequenceNumber used for sending from the
one received. According to the specification, the transactionSequenceNumber is
not meant to equally increase on both ends, but instead really just be a "random"
number which allows to match a reply to a request. Syncing them on both ends
has the outcome to increase the likelyhood of collisions if a device sends
a notification at the same time we send a request and thus even may wrongly
interpret that incoming command as a reply to the request. In fact, ideally TSNs for
outgoing messages would stay away as far as possible from incoming ones.
The old code additionally had the problem that it would re-use the last received
TSN for outgoing requests, given it used a post-increment when reading
m_transactionSequenceNumber after setting it to the last received TSN.
The new code will use a single static upcounting TSN for all outgoing requests
but will still allow overriding it with a custom TSN of for some reason a certain
device requires a specific TSN (apparently those exist).
It will not do anything with incoming TSNs but forward them now to the application
layer which may decide to use it match its own transactions or to deduplicate packets.
This allows fixing the issue in nymea that remote controls sometimes produce duplicate
pressed events (seen most often with the Tradfri Symfonisk) by discarding commands that
didn't increase the TSN.
