~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The arest sensor will consume an exposed aREST API of a device.

Configuration:

To use the arest sensor you will need to add something like the following
to your configuration.yaml file.

sensor:
  platform: arest
  resource: http://IP_ADDRESS
  monitored_variables:
    - name: temperature
      unit: '°C'
    - name: humidity
      unit: '%'

Variables:

resource:
*Required
IP address of the device that is exposing an aREST API.

These are the variables for the monitored_variables array:

name
*Required
The name of the variable you wish to monitor.

unit
*Optional
Defines the units of measurement of the sensor, if any.

Details for the API : http://arest.io

Format of a default JSON response by aREST:
{
   "variables":{
      "temperature":21,
      "humidity":89
   },
   "id":"device008",
   "name":"Bedroom",
   "connected":true
}
