+##Summary
+Thermocontroller is an interactive server/client setup for environmental control. The user sends a command to the command and control server, which forwards that command to the client device. Both the client and server software is built to be deployed on a Raspberry Pi running GNU/Linux, with the client using the GPIO pins to interact with external devices.
