Re: [mh] Adding Tasmota HTTP support

Just wanted to send a HUGE thank you for this. I have been having some 
noise issues with my X-10 system of late and they do not seem to be 
going away. I have been looking at all the smart devices out there but 
was intimidated by the MQTT and internet of things aspects as well as 
having a pathological dislike for cloud based solutions. I have grown 
rather fond of mh and would hate to give up all of its functionality and 
integration but you have made it possible for me to integrate the Sonoff 
mini into mh with literally drop in ease. It took me 3 hours to get the 
hang of flashing my minis with Tasmota and then literally 5 minutes to 
connect them to mh.

Thanks again for a great module that has brought the hardware layer of 
my mh installation into the 21st century.
