The Output pins (lamp, spot, magnet) don't correspond to what the web interface states. Next to that, the web interface doesn't allow for manual switching anymore. When you toggle one of the three buttons, the output doesn't change and the switch toggles back to its original state.
A small table (Lamp (L), Spot (S), Magnet (M) of results for what the Web Interface says (and should be the right state) and what the true output is (which is incorrect).
State Entree:
Web Interface: Lon/Soff/Mon, Output: Loff/Son/Moff
State Badkamer: Loff/Son/Moff. Output: Lon/Soff/Mon
State Eindspel: Lon/Soff/Moff. Output: Loff/Son/Mon

Can you fixe these two issues?

We want to trigger sound effects during state changes, in parallel to the music change.

Can you build a button in the web interface, which starts a timer (MM:SS)? Preferably with an adjustable end time (let's say: I want it to stop, buzz, or play an MP3 at 15 minutes).
Bonus points are for logging the state changes to the time of the timer at that time :).

Originally, we used XIO pins for output. LAter on, we decided that CSID's were more suited because of their greater power capacity. Can you change the code of escape.conf to the following again:
[Escape]
sounddir = ./static/sounds
volume = 85
logfile = ./escape.log
debug = False
bookbutton1pin = XIO-P2
bookbutton2pin = XIO-P4
keybuttonpin = XIO-P6
lamppin = CSID1
spotpin = CSID3
magnetpin = CSID5
bathroomeffect = vic.mp3

1. Can you place the clock somewhere where it's always visible (the tabs below that, we do love the tabs).
2. Can you create some space between the Shutdown/Reboot buttons and the tabs? We use iPad and iPhone for control and when browsing through the tabs, they are a little too close for comfort.
3. Can you swap the System and Hints tabs?

The header bar is not clean - wrong style on the time, it needs a logo and maybe I could display the current scene there as well.

The new feature where you play an effect (in addition to changing the background music) when you change scenes, is a bit off when it comes to timing. When you switch from Entree to Badkamer, there's a very short moment where you hear the background track of that scene, then it gets interrupted by the sound effect and then the background track plays on. My wish is to immediately after the scene switches, play the sound effect (really as soon as possible). After that, the timing of the background music is less important.
For now, I'm going back to integrating the sound effect in the background track (and making it longer, to prevent awkward loops :)).

Right now the app sends a full state overview every so many seconds. Wasteful. I should migrate to websockets and send only changes in state, switches, etc.

We should have a heartbeat so we can see the c.h.i.p. is still alive from the browser screen

Upon/after boot time, the game state is set to Entree. Can you make a fourth state of AllesUit, on which all outputs are turned off and make that the default state after booting? It's something to try to stabalize the CHIP in combination with the relay board.

Is it possible to create an option to adjust the volume of the sounds in the web interface?
Pushing my luck: would it be possible to have seperate volume controls for the background music and the hints?

In the web interface, the MP3's are unsorted, or sorted in an unusable order. Can you make it sort them alphabetically?

We need to switch to separate sound and music channels:

• in the config file, configure three background music tracks
• play the first when getting to 1/2 of the time, the second when getting to 4/5 of the time and the final music track
• when playing hints or sound effects, lower volume of the music until the effect is done
