Blink1Control2 Trigger blink(1) via MQTT

Similar to the script, url, and file sources, do you think it would be within scope to add support to subscribe to an MQTT topic to update? I suppose I could easily write an external script to subscribe and write it out as a file if you don't think it would be in scope. Though I am not familiar with development with Electron, if you thought perhaps it would be in scope, I could give it a try myself.

This is a great idea. I'm looking into it now. What would be the common user-level parameters you would like for watch MQTT topics? If you use Node.js, which MQTT package do you prefer?

I had not thought through the specifics too much, but my naive idea was to just have the setting for an mqtt broker (with user and password options) and then a topic, and reuse the same options for parsing (as JSON, as pattern name, as color)

I tend to do most of my development in other languages so I do not have any input for node.js packages.

Out of curiosity, did you ever figure out the issues with webpack ? https://github.com/todbot/Blink1Control2/commit/63e1fa2905642c51bf885346145c1a4f33d8af5d

@todbot a friendly bump to see if perhaps you were able to get things working :)
