Sign up with GoogleI'm so impressed with my self right now!
It all came together
From registration right through to creating switches in the user's profile, works flawlessly.
Only problem is I had to create a cron job to apply changes by sending a kill -HUP signal to the mosquitto PID in order to apply changes and new mosquitto users, the job runs every 5 mins, this means your new switch will only become available after max 5 mins bit unfortunate but rather that than allowing the www-data user kill external PIDs. Initially I didn't think mosquitto supports kill with -HUP, if you just restart all clients lose connection, got a bit lucky there.
the interface registration and user friendliness is still a bit rough around the edges
