WS2812 Home automation discovery

[RDickens]

I'm using a node mcu with some WS2812 leds and home assistant on a raspberry pi 3

I have got the home assistant discovery enabled (which does make life a lot easier) but when my node mcu sends the discovery mqtt packet to the home assistant it doesn't send any scheme information about the leds. It shows up in the "state" updates but nothing about the scheme in the discovery info.

Scheme information is not provided as the mqtt message string is already way to long due to Hass JSON naming.

Ask Hass to provide support for short JSON parameter naming and I will support Scheme info too.
