v3.0 - Modernization Release

Modernize frontend and restructure backend

Summary

Full modernization of the Pi-Somfy project — updated web interface, restructured backend, and numerous bug fixes.

Web Interface

• Modernized design with a mobile-friendly, responsive layout that works well on phones, tablets, and desktops
• Replaced all bitmap button icons with crisp vector (SVG) graphics
• Consolidated 20+ favicon formats into a single SVG favicon
• Fixed schedule page visual glitches: toggle labels, clock picker positioning, and dropdown menus clipping
• Fixed a bug where deleting a schedule and then adding a new one could fail
• Removed dependency on external icon font files (Bootstrap Icons webfont)
• Fixed 27 spelling mistakes

Alexa Integration

• No restart required: Adding or removing shutters via the web UI is now automatically picked up by Alexa — no service restart needed
• More reliable device discovery (responses sent multiple times to guard against network packet loss)

MQTT / Home Assistant

• Updated to the modern Home Assistant MQTT discovery format
• Now compatible with both paho-mqtt 1.x and 2.x

Backend

• Consolidated 9 Python files into 6 (cleaner structure, less duplication)
• Configuration file writes are now safer — protected against corruption from power loss or crashes
• Fixed several bugs in the scheduler, configuration reader, and shutter control (demo mode)
• Updated deprecated Python API calls for compatibility with current Python versions
• Can now run on Windows for development/testing (web server and Alexa work; GPIO requires a Pi)

Housekeeping

• Added .gitignore entries for user config and log files (contain personal data)
• Removed unused fauxmo_config.json
• Removed unused CSS/JS library files (functionality replaced with inline code)
• Net reduction of ~2,100 lines of code

Testing

• Tested on Windows (web interface + Alexa discovery)
• Tested on Raspberry Pi (full stack including Alexa voice control)
