To run the application simply run:

python main.py

or use cron to automatically start on boot:

@reboot sh /home/pi/CH924-Lights/run.sh >/home/pi/logs/lights 2>&1

To View the WebUI simply visit:

API endpoints can be called from

http://raspberrypiipaddress:8000/api

crontab -e

Insert the following:

@reboot sh /home/pi/CH924-Lights/run.sh >/home/pi/logs/lights 2>&1

This will run the script on system boot and log the output to /home/pi/logs/lights

If for any reason the webserver crashes a debug log will be generated in the project directory
