pimote v1.1.7

pimote

Control Energinie Switches from a Raspberry Pi

This module is based on node-energenie-pimote but it is structured as a class. Also the pins are set up and dropped each time. The original module has the problem that it stops working if the cli version is used while a long-term program is running.

npm install -g pimote
