Version 2.0: Complete code refactoring but no features added
Version 1.0: Added Safety Conditions, Sync roof absolute position (ticks), Go To position
Version 0.2: Added Firmware version

Version 0.1: Provides only basic functionalities like open (unpark) / close (park) / abort and also reads the status from the device. All other features will be in a next version, like sync, move to position, snoop devices for mount / weather shutdown. Use it under strict control as mount / devices could be hit by the roof.
