I can see that the number of different tokens could rapidly increase, how
have other people gotten around this? I can see that keeping the schema up
to date would be a nightmare in these circumstances. The token is
important though, as it tells the receiving app how to handle the ID, ie
if the token is bluetooth, it needs to treat the ID as a bluetooth MAC
address, or whatever they're called, but if the token were ibutton it'd be
an ibutton serial number ...

How have others got around this problem? Could occupancy.basic be the base
(and useless) schema, with each different token having it's own schema?
occupancy.bluetooth, occupancy.rfid etc?
