• Sends a “connected” to Mosquitto
• Mqtt controls Display
• Rotary values are displayed, a push on the rotary sends the value to Mosquitto

Code :

Notes: There is a problem with 4 line LCD using LiquidCrystal_I2C
Lines 3 and 4 will be shifted 4 characters to the right.
Workaround is: lcd.setCursor(-4, 2); // Go to column 0, row 3
