btmon.py and MQTT, handling of zero values

[jkwong38]

I have btmon.py successfully setup polling data from my Brultech GEM, it then sends it to emoncms and an MQTT server. For the most part, everything works great. However, when a value is zero; it is not published to MQTT. I had tried subscribing to everything; '#' topic and the channel showing power consumption in watts would not be present when it is at 0. However, the accumulated watt-hours consumed for that same channel is displayed correctly.

In emoncms, I can see the 0.0 data being posted, and everything graphs out correctly.

Could this be a bug, or a configuration problem on my part?
