Architecture

Creating an issue to discuss the overall architecture. Initial thoughts follow.

Requirements

Python 3.7.3 seems to be the lowest common denominator, so we can target that.

Controller

• Communicates with MQTT
• Handles (re)config

Modules Plugins

• Sends state to controller at whatever rate
  • State object needs enough data to generate the config, but the module does not generate the config.

API

State message

An object that contains enough data to generate a config message if needed. The controller will use this to send a config topic

Logging

We need some standardized way for modules to log things. Probably use the Python standard logger.
