I hate the current way it is working, especially if you deal with
multiple sensors which you want to start and stop. Also having to
check if it is one of two different states before being able to stop
is just bad :-)
In JS - unless in strict mode - minor mistakes are just ignored and
don't throw.
Examples:
```
delete Object.prototype; // doesn't delete, just ignored
var obj1 = {};
Object.defineProperty(obj1, "x", { value: 42, writable: false });
obj1.x = 9; // ignored
// Assignment to a getter-only property
var obj2 = { get x() { return 17; } };
obj2.x = 5; // ignored
```
Stopping something which is already stopped (or starting something
which is started) I don't even consider a mistake, most of the time
you just want to ensure something is stopped and don't care if it
already is (or you want to start something if it isn't started).
