FEATURE REQUEST: mqtt.publish would be a killer!

Anrij, THANK YOU a ton for this. I had created my own quick&dirty aranet4 reader, but yours is so much better. Having also MQTT publish would be a killer feature, as it would open your project for all of mqtt-friendly smart home systems (like openhab, hass, domoticz, etc). I could comment with my own code that does through paho-mqtt ... though it is a kindergarten level, comparing to yours ... I'm too shy for a proper pull ;)

I haven't checked paho-mqtt, but I might do it later. For now I have separated main logic in library to make it easier to use for other projects. You can use it in your own project by adding aranet4 folder to your project and in main code just import it.

Something like this:

import aranet4

device_mac = "00:00:00:00:00:00"
ar4 = aranet4.Aranet4(device_mac)
current = ar4.currentReadings()

print "Temperature:", current["temperature"]
print "Humidity:", current["humidity"]
print "Pressure:", current["pressure"]
print "CO2:", current["

lovely, Thank You for this! I also realized for one of my scenarios I could use -u to post directly to influx. But for another one (and for entire smart home community) the mqtt would still be great! Kudos!

I have added mqtt.publish as an example. It can be found at examples/mqtt/publish.py
