WiP to send me GIFs of my cat eating food when I'm not around

To run

ssh -T name@pi.local "bash -s" -- < start.sh [arguments to pass to app.py]

Tech

• Webcamera, iPCamera, or Facetime/rPi camera via camcamcam
• Python script on Raspberry Pi connected to same home network
• Server for hosting images
• Hue lights
• Misc IFTTT triggers for convenience

Bugs

• failed gifs still upload when they shouldn't
• pi can run out of space causing curl error 23
• if light switch is off, lights won't turn on
• starting script immediately into active timer should delete preexisting photos
• curl errors should not be silent
• run scripts in loops?
• decouple ifttt lights vs email -- missing images shouldn't get email

Needs

• log misc calls
• don't require stftp or ifttt
• errors from bad arguments don't show in logs
• IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/tommy/feedergif/logs/debug.log'
