- 3rd-floor Miniwall:
Operational display;
test version is under development,
i.e. it doesn't work yet.
- I am starting with the a copy of the stairwells script.
- So it will have the heartbeat included.
- It will not work like the old miniwall script, which is probably good...
- Better error catching/management is a key requirement.
