Support for Home Assistant API (no MQTT needed) Experimental feature

[hjelev]

There are BREAKING CHANGES in this version.
The breaking change is the need of a new python module requests.
You can reinstall the script so its automatically installed or install manually if you are an advanced user (make sure you install it in the correct virtual environment)
The new feature is direct integration with Home Assistant API without the need of MQTT broker.
Note that the Home Assistant API integration is only able to publish sensor values to HASS and update, restart and monitor control features are not available.

Hello, just updated but now have this error:

Dec 01 12:10:53 Pi systemd[1]: Started rpi-mqtt-monitor.service - RPI MQTT Monitor.

I changed line 661 to:

                entity_id = f"sensor.{hostname}_{device}_temp"

I changed line 666 to:

            entity_id = f"sensor.{hostname}_{param}"

Now it is working without the error.

EDIT: although only in mqtt mode, in api mode I see nothing within home assistant.
