A pure python client to connect to a pilight daemon

This client interfaces with the pilight-daemon to send and receive RF codes (https://www.pilight.org/).

Sending and receiving is implemented in an asychronous way. A callback function can be defined that reacts on received data. Automatic acknowledge if the send data was transmitted by the pilight-daemon is implemented.

All pilight-send commands can be used by this client (https://wiki.pilight.org/doku.php/psend). The API is mentioned here: https://manual.pilight.org/en/api.
