Nello.IO MQTT Binding

Remote open your Nello.IO locations via MQTT. Simply publish a message like:

{
  "type": "open",
  "location_id": "a95a788a-e774-4561-8fc8-2225b3dccc21"
}

A simpler message format is also supported:

open a95a788a-e774-4561-8fc8-2225b3dccc21

Nello will publish all locations to the topic on connect, and also print to console.

{
  "location_id": "a95a788a-e774-4561-8fc8-2225b3dccc21",
  "type": "location",
  "address": "22 E 32nd st 10006 New York, , USA"
}

Create a separate account for this integration or you will be constantly logged out from the nello app.
