Controls
The frontend exposes for each socket two ODB keys:
Socket n requested => indicates the requested state for the socket number n
Socket n current => indicates the current state of the socket number
There are 3 state currently supported:
- On
- Off

Dynamic grow / shrink
This frontend will detect the number of sockets that EPICS declares. It will adapt accordingly. This feature also works at runtime.
