Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
If you send the command_update_sensors, all sensor values are updated. Would it conserve battery on the target device to only update specific sensors?

**Describe the solution you'd like**
A new Notification Command "command_update_sensor" which we can pass a specific sensor/entityId to in order to trigger an update

**Describe alternatives you've considered, if any**
N/A

**Additional context**
Template for triggering the command via home assistant:
`automation:
- alias: Update sensors
trigger:
...
action:
- action: notify.mobile_app_
data:
message: "command_update_sensor"
data:
sensorId: "sensor.lenovo_tab_m9_light_sensor"`
