Request Priorities
Request priorities are in the range from 0..9, and the following constants define some recommended values. For writable resources, their drivers should set a permanent request at prio 0 for the default value. If no default is set, this lib will keep the last value if the last request is removed.
#define	rcPrioMin   0
	Minimum (lowest) priority.
#define	rcPrioNormal   3
	General default for new requests and default for automation rules.
#define	rcPrioMax   9
	Maximum (highest) priority.
#define	rcPrioDefault   0
	Preset defaults (typically by the driver)
#define	rcPrioRuleMin   1
	Minimum for automation rules.
#define	rcPrioRule   3
	Default for automation rules.
#define	rcPrioRuleMax   5
	Maximum for automation rules (unless safety-relevant, see rcPrioSafety)
#define	rcPrioUser   6
	Direct user interaction (e.g. user pushes button to open window shades)
#define	rcPrioShell   7
	Shell or administrative interaction (default priority in the Home2l shell)
#define	rcPrioSafety   8
	Automatic actions necessary to avoid damage (e.g. close roof window on bad weather)
#define	rcPrioIKnowWhatImDoing   9
	Maximum priority is reserved for explicit manual intervention (should not be used by any automation rule)
