Detailed Description

MQTTComponent is the base class for all components that interact with MQTT to expose certain functionality or data from actuators or sensors to clients.

Although this class should work with all MQTT solutions, it has been specifically designed for use with Home Assistant. For example, this class supports Home Assistant MQTT discovery out of the box.

In order to implement automatic Home Assistant discovery, all sub-classes should:

Implement send_discovery that creates a Home Assistant discovery payload.
Override component_type() to return the appropriate component type such as "light" or "sensor".
Subscribe to command topics using subscribe() or subscribe_json() during setup().

In order to best separate the front- and back-end of ESPHome, all sub-classes should only parse/send MQTT messages and interact with back-end components via callbacks to ensure a clean separation.
