bulb	Sends infrared codes to an IR LED bulb.

btX	Sends infrared codes over serial bluetooth to Pico IR repeaters (https://github.com/kennedn/pico-projects/tree/main/infrared_nec) to be replayed by the device

How to run

python3 (preferably 3.7 for dict insertion order preservation) needs to be installed, along with the following modules:

• flask
• flask-restful
• pyserial
• icmplib
• ntfy

This can be achieve in debain linux variants by doing:

sudo apt install python3.7

python3.7 -m pip install flask flask-restful pyserial icmplib

Once the dependancies have been met the program can be run as follows:

chmod 755 room_api.py
./room_api.py

Python is cross platform and this should work on windows.
