Current status

NimHA is currently in BETA.

Work before reaching stable: - Avoid database lock error (multiple connections at the same time - which SQLite does not like)

• The alarm module's countdown proc() is currently not working (this means that when the alarm has been triggered, it will immediately go into ringing mode)
