Russell same here, I have a Chipkit UNO32 on a W550io board with MQTT
and Misterhouse (and Node-Red and crontab scripts ...) with Mosquitto.
I've been itching to get the ESP8266 up on MQTT to see what it can do.

I'd love to see how well the ESP would work with a solar setup. Probably
a bit power hungry but I can dream. :-)

I'm playing around with different way to set/get data to/from MQTT.
It's a bit hard to figure out what's best. I'm testing MQTT on the
interwebs and the intrawebs. ;-)

I have the D3 tree with web sockets and I'll write a device driver
for Homeseer 3 later. I've got a ton of weather related Node-red stuff
passing through MQTT (where little data becomes big data). Yes I have
too much Home Automation. :-)
