Add authentication to MQTT about grott HOT 4 CLOSED

At this moment do not have authentication in MQTT enabled because I only use it in my own (home) network.

I do think it is an added value to make it possible to enable authentication (via a parameter) and like to experiment with this. Do you use userid/password authentication or another security mechanism?

I added an option to specify MQTT autentication.
You can now specify in the MQTT section of the INI file:

auth = True
user = youruserid
password = yourpassword

Default:
auth = False
user = grott
password = growatt2020

I hope you are able to test it. At this moment I do not have a secure MQTT available myself (will set this up later).

I use the mosquito home assistant add on: https://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-addons/blob/master/mosquitto/README.md

With the optional logins configuration set to only one account.
I suspect mosquito will have a lot of documentation around Mqtt authentication. Don't think it's to complicated.

Works great btw :)
