Hi there folk,

In the past few days, I have uploaded all of the project's code to github. There are two separate repositories, one containing the code running the Raspberry Pi radio and associated web server, and another containing the code for the Arduino nodes. They are linked on the main project page. In addition, I have done a bit more work on the mobile interface, and I have built a small HTML scene in tasker to handle control of the room lighting color, and toggling of the system's sleep mode.

A tasker script will also automatically turn the lights to red at a designated sleep time, if the phone is in the room, in order to allow adjustment to lower light in the interest of good sleep hygiene.

With regard to the radio communication issues, I have adjusted the time between failed transmission attempts, so we will see if this fixes the issue. More advanced radio error handling may be required.
