For some time now, the system has been running in a fairly stable state. However, I have recently noticed that the system's NRF24L01+ radios - required for wireless communication between the base station and the actuator node responsible for displaying room data on an OLED screen and switching the lights - has been crashing at odd times, disabling smartphone control functions. I am currently debugging the issue, but I am yet unsure whether these issues are the result of troubles with the Arduino or Raspberry Pi libraries. I will keep y'all updated with any progress I make!
