To control 433mhz switches, add codesend and lights.py to www-data visudo:
sudo visudo
and add the following rules to the file:
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /home/pi/433Utils/RPi_utils/codesend
www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: /var/www/html/scripts/auto/lights.py

create a wehbook and copy it into config/.env file:

option
To create a 24/7 client, you need to autostart the website with the chromium browser.
@xset s off
@xset -dpms
@xset s noblank
@chromium-browser --kiosk http://localhost/
If you dont want the screen to be on all the time, remove @xset s off and @xset s noblank.
option
If you have your screen mounted upside down, you need to edit the config file:
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
And add the following line:
display_rotate=2
To rotate 90° or 270°, change the value. 90° is 1, 180° is 2 and 270° is 3
option
If you have a touchscreen, you will also have to rotate the touchscreen input.
Go to the input configs:
cd /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
ls
Now look for the file that has a section with Identifier ... touchscreen catchall.
It will most likely have evdev or libinput in the title.
Once you found it, go to the Identifier ... touchscreen catchall section and add the correct Option to the bottom of the Section:
90°:
Option "TransformationMatrix" "0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1"
180°:
Option "TransformationMatrix" "-1 0 1 0 -1 1 0 0 1"
270°:
Option "TransformationMatrix" "0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1"
