Example MQTT Requests

Channels: simon/game simon/response

Press a button for Simon says 'A' { "round": 1, "simon_says": 1, "button": "A" }

Press a button but not Simon Says lets say 'B' { "round": 1, "simon_says": 0, "button": "A" }

Round number is just for cosmetic tracking, Simon says 1 means true and simon asks you to do it 0 means simon didnt say to do it. Buttons can be 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D'.
