FLARE ebd extension

This is a Python program running on oc-control that controls some devices in the FLARE EBD.

Currently it still exchanges data in the old way, i.e. via the MySQL database on isolator. On the IT roadmap, it is planned that this will change to control via MQTT. Also, this is still a very rudimentary windows service, it will be rewritten to use the MQTT_daemon class.

The current repo is here [1].
