Hi im new Node red user.

I noticed that most of you are using node-red-contrib-huemagic to automate Hue, my question is does this use API version 2.0 ? I am talking mainly about a function added in the new api / eventstream:

 ![api v2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/nodered/original/3X/7/7/773ea9df95b0c5fe3e4a8ed2763ad95998413abe.png)

Therefore, the question is how the huemagic obtains information about pressed buttons on the switch. Does it send constantly get requests. Does it use eventstream?
