payload message needs to be customizable

[universam1]

I'm using a Sonoff as a smart Actuator and Sensor. Sensor is working nicely, but the actuating message is fixed in code

cbpi-mqtt/__init__.py

Line 35 in 1f36edc

self.api.cache["mqtt"].client.publish(self.topic, payload=json.dumps({"state": "on"}), qos=0, retain=False)

as {"state": "on"} which is not compatible in my case. My Sonoff is expecting a mere string on in this regard.

Therefore, I would like to ask to make the on and off messages customizable, a user could just predefine two string parameter as off and on.

Yep that would work, very similar to the code used in HTTP Actor.
