Hello,

I created some Things for my Raspberry and every was working fine with version 0.13.0.
I just updated to 0.15.0 and I get the following:

/home/pi/webthing-home/node_modules/ajv/dist/compile/index.js:119
        throw e;
        ^

Error: strict mode: unknown keyword: "links"

    at createServer (/home/pi/webthing-home/src/raspi-1-server.js:19:39)

The code that raises the error is the following:

  const imageValue = new Value(null)
  thing.addProperty(
    new Property(thing, 'image', imageValue, {
      '@type': 'ImageProperty',
      title: 'Snapshot',
      links: [{ rel: 'alternate', mediaType: 'image/jpeg', href: `/media/${imageFilename}` }],
      readOnly: true
    }))

I read the lib code and I notice that there is a ajv validation of metadata ( https://github.com/WebThingsIO/webthing-node/blob/master/lib/property.ts#L55 ) and some attributes are deleted and never read ( https://github.com/WebThingsIO/webthing-node/blob/master/lib/property.ts#L54 ), why?

I can't understand: PropertyMetadata interface let you write links field ( https://github.com/WebThingsIO/webthing-node/blob/master/lib/property.ts#L172 ).
Metadata must be a JSONSchema or a PropertyMetadata object? How can I set links property for my Raspberry camera?

( My complete code here https://github.com/cescobaz/webthing-home )

Many thanks

Action metadata seems to be incomplete too. At least unit and properties (for objects) are missing on ActionMetadata.input. At least https://webthings.io/api/#example-action-object suggests, that those should exist.
