the weewx-mqtt uploader publishes to the topic specified in [[MQTT]], which
is 'weather' by default.
so if you subscribe to /weather/+ you should see everything
other mqtt uploader options:
[StdRESTful]
[[MQTT]]
topic = weather
append_units_label = True # should the units name be appended to
the observation name?
retain = False
aggregation = individual, aggregate # upload each observation
individually, and/or all in a single message
unit_system = None # convert to the indicated unit system 'US',
'METRIC', or 'METRICWX'
binding = archive # how often to emit data, either 'loop' or
'archive'
you can also specify units and formatting for each observation, if
necessary.
