Feature Request: MQTT analyzer.letsme.sh integration

[nakoeppen]

Hello! I must preface this request by saying that I am quite new to MeshCore and Home Assistant in general, so I sincerely apologize if I am missing the mark with this one, but it would be quite handy to have integrated support for MQTT Packet Analysis through analyzer.letsme.sh within this Home Assistant Add-On. I am sure this can be accomplished somehow with a separate service running concurrently to Home Assistant, but I would imagine a more efficiently implemented solution could be added directly to this add-on (which would also avoid any HomeAssistantOS headaches). This would enhance the ability for people to upload this information to the web, and allow for better analysis of a local area's MeshCore network health.

This should technically be doable by forwarding the RX log. Might not even need any custom integration logic. Can do it by automation. Might require some coordination with the owner of letsme.sh to make sure it can handle the packets

Any further thoughts on this?

@awolden from a brief conversation with the maintainer of letsmesh.net on the MeshCore Discord:

I don't have concerns over load, but I do ask that you take extreme care to implement faithfully the same behavior that is exhibited in the reference implementation: Cisien/meshcoretomqtt.
There's a fair amount of nuance and subtle, but critical details that aren't really documented. If you match the behavior and implementation details of the latest meshcoretomqtt, it should be smooth sailing. If you or your LLM deviates too much, you may have moments where you question your life choices

Seems like we have the green light. I will try to contribute to this how I can, but admittedly I am quite new to Home Assistant so I am not sure how far I will get on my own. Feel free to let me know if you take any stabs at it or if you need anything from me!
