Updates

Even though I said I'd share "as is", I made a couple of updates since the guide...

2018-06-21

• Added chip support and configuration to replace reed relays
• Added PCB schematics

2018-06-02

• The messages won't be rejected anymore if the script is busy but instead put in a pool to be executed later
• Added audio feedback
• Cleaning up old things

2018-05-24

• Added logging functions
• Cleaned up a bit
• After every actions the remote controller is now restarted, an error free remote is that way guaranteed even if you tried to use your Velux products when it was raining. The booting process takes about 15 seconds. The remote reboots 2 seconds after the command is executed, as it turned out there's no need to wait for completion to send another command!

2018-04-29

• When a command is executed, the controller now becomes unusable for 55 seconds, using a state machine it is set to "BUSY". This is because, 45 seconds after you execute a command, the script now presses the middle button "STOP", which I only found out now, clears the screen of any possible errors and returns the controller to the home screen! No need for wicked camera or screen reading!
• Added snipsvelux.service so the script can be autostarted:
  • cd snipsvelux
  • sudo cp snipsvelux.service /etc/systemd/system
  • sudo systemctl start snipsvelux
  • sudo systemctl enable snipsvelux
