i think implementation is not that straightforward, because it is quite dependent on the protocol itself (polling vs subscribe, stateless vs stateful protocols, etc.). what we at UMH want to do here, is not do it like everyone else, but instead figure out a way how one can do it while still having an overview over it all. this means it must be some additional to the bridges, namely the plugins. probably some similar syntax across all plugins, or maybe a processor plugin that triggers the existing input plugins once.
