Note: built on top of my previous PR so I'll close that one.
This PR adds support for Home Assistant's MQTT Discovery to allow for automatic creation of entities and properly grouping those entities into Devices within HA. It also moves to a more forgiving YAML based config file and adds support for authenticated MQTT servers. Lastly some small tweaks including a Makefile and systemd service. I've attempted to update the documentation and test as best I could (although I only have a single type of device).
Unfortunately to use auto discovery there needed to be a few breaking changes to the payloads (HA didn't like : in the topic names or values with '-' in them inside the payload). Setting publish_type & auto_configure to 0 should allow it to act the same as it did previously.
This should close out the various issues requesting these features (#4, #5, & #7)
