The system status task

We are now able to receive and parse commands, but we also need to be able to send status information back to the server. In order to do this, we are going to create a system status task that will call the IotDevice object's sample method and then package the data up and send it in JSON format to the socket server. This system_status task will be added to the asyncio task list when we write the main application code. The task code can be seen as follows:

def system_status():    while True:        # Sample Sensors or get the latest result        Device.sample()        data = {}        data['id'] = Device.ID        data['temperature'] = Device.Temperature        data['humidity'] = Device.Humidity        data['led1'] = Device.LED1        data['led2'] = Device.LED2 data['led3'] ...
