HA MQTT Device Discovery alpha-1

[bellrichm]

I have developed ‘plugin’ support to enable adding additional functionality to MQTTPublish. As a proof-of-concept, I have a plugin that supports HA MQTT Device Discovery.

This is very much alpha code. I am just getting started with HA and I don’t fully understand how object_ids, unique_ids, entity_ids, names, friendly_names, relate to each other. There seems to be some magic going on that I don’t understand.

The code can be found at, release.

And here is the preliminary documentation.

When MQTTPublish is installed, the plugin is installed with it disabled. Hopefully with minimal configuration, you can get it up and running.

Being very early alpha code, expect breaking changes.
