Documentation for the emoncms sensor. (#910)

* documentation for the emoncms sensor.

* add emoncms logo

* Changed functionality and better config variable names

* remove min / default value, this is defined by home assistant itselve.
The component was wrongfully adding scan_interval to voloptuous schema
twice as it was already defined in config_velidation helper so
i should not try to redefine it either

* switch logo to their official logo

The `emoncms` sensor platform creates sensors for the feeds available in your local or cloud based version of [emoncms](https://emoncms.org).
To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`, it will list all feeds as a sensor:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry using cloud based emoncms
sensor:
platform: emoncms
api_key: put your emoncms read api key here
url: https://emoncms.org
id: 1
```
## {% linkable_title Configuration variables %}
- **api_key** (*Required*): The read api key for your emoncms user.
- **url** (*Required*): The base url of emoncms, use "https://emoncms.org" for the cloud based version.
- **id** (*Required*): Positive Integer identifier for the sensor. Must be unique if you specify multiple emoncms sensors.
- **include_only_feed_id** (*optional*): Positive integer list of emoncms feed id's. Only the feeds with feed id's specified here will be displayed. Can not be specified if `exclude_feed_id` is specified.
- **exclude_feed_id** (*optional*): Positive integer list of emoncms feed id's. All the feeds will be displayed as sensors except the ones listed here. Can not be specified if `include_only_feed_id` is specified.
- **sensor_names** (*optional*): Dictionary of names for the sensors created that are created based on feedid. The dictionary consists of feedid:name pairs. Sensors for feeds with their feedid mentioned here will get the chosen name instead of the default name
- **value_template** (*Optional*): Defines a [template](/topics/templating/) to alter the feed value.
- **scan_interval** (*Optional*): Defines the update interval of the sensor in seconds.
- **unit_of_measurement** (*Optional*): Defines the unit of measurement of for all the sensors. default is "W".
## {% linkable_title Default naming scheme %}
The names of the sensors created by this component, will be a combination of static text, `id` from the config and `feedid` from the emoncms feed, unless `sensor_names` is used.
An example name would be "emoncms1_feedid_10"
## {% linkable_title Examples %}
In this section you find some more examples of how this sensor can be used.
```yaml
# Display only feeds with their feed id's specified in "include_only_feed_id"
sensor:
- platform: emoncms
api_key: put your emoncms read api key here
url: https://emoncms.org
id: 1
unit_of_measurement: "W"
include_only_feed_id:
- 107
- 106
- 105
```
```yaml
# Display all feeds except feeds with their feed id specified in "exclude_feed_id"
sensor:
- platform: emoncms
api_key: put your emoncms read api key here
url: https://emoncms.org
id: 1
unit_of_measurement: "KWH"
exclude_feed_id:
- 107
- 106
- 105
```
```yaml
# Display only feeds with their feed id's specified in "include_only_feed_id" and give the feed sensors a name using "sensor_names". You don't have to specify all feeds names in "sensor_names", the remaining sensor names will be chosen based on "id" and the emoncms feedid
sensor:
- platform: emoncms
api_key: put your emoncms read api key here
url: https://emoncms.org
id: 1
unit_of_measurement: "KW"
include_only_feed_id:
- 5
- 18
- 29
- 48
- 61
- 110
- 116
- 120
sensor_names:
5: "feed 1"
18: "feed 2"
29: "feed 3"
48: "kwh feed"
61: "amp feed"
110: "watt feed"
```
```yaml
# Use a "value_template" to add 1500 to the feed value for all specified feed id's in "include_feed_id"
sensor:
- platform: emoncms
api_key: put your emoncms read api key here
url: https://emoncms.org
scan_interval: 15
id: 1
value_template: {% raw %}"{{ value | float + 1500 }}"{% endraw %}
include_only_feed_id:
- 107
- 106
- 105
- 61
```
```yaml
# Display feeds from the same emoncms instance with 2 groups of feeds, diffrent scan_interval and a diffrent unit_of_measurement
sensor:
- platform: emoncms
api_key: put your emoncms read api key here
url: https://emoncms.org
scan_interval: 30
id: 1
unit_of_measurement: "W"
include_only_feed_id:
- 107
- 106
- 105
- platform: emoncms
api_key: put your emoncms read api key here
url: https://emoncms.org
id: 2
scan_interval: 60
unit_of_measurement: "A"
include_only_feed_id:
- 108
- 109
- 110
- 61
```
