MQTT Discovery support #62

Closed FrancineMatos closed 4 months ago

FrancineMatos commented 4 months ago

I've added the MQTT Discovery function that auto create the components in Home Assistant.

1 - We need to add this to DataLogger.py (for some reason i cant paste the code here it's broke the editor) image

2 - some changes need to be done on log_mqtt function still in DataLogger.py image

3 - We need to create the call for the new function on example.py or whathever you are using to start the renogy image

4 - We neet to indicate in the config.ini the instance name of our home assistant image

Another improvment, now it's return the device class and the unit of measurement of the components by Home Assistant MQTT Discovery so the sensor is correctly registred.

Was necessary to change a bit the data structure but i dont think that it can do something bad

Some changes in DataLogger.py and RoverClient.py
