Cookbook: adafruit.io MQTT

[hajdbo]

I could not find an esphomeyaml template that would work with adafruit.io: auto-generated MQTT topics would not be accepted by adafruit.io, and debug messages would go over the 30 msg/min rate limit.
To work around these problems, I had to:

• Remove the birth_message and will_message, because they would spam the console every five seconds,
• Remove the OTA debug stream, as it would also go over the rate limit. You can still upload new firmwares OTA, though.
• Force adafruit.io MQTT topic naming convention for each sensor output.

Here is the template, for you to reuse. Replace XXXX by your user name, of course.

esphomeyaml:

  password: 'XX<APIKEY>XX'
  topic_prefix: 'XX<USERNAME>XX/feeds'
