How do I start DoorPi as an application?

Is there an status-file?

You can config a status-file in the droopy.cfg like:

[EVENT_OnTimeSecond] 10 = statusfile:/home/pi/doorpi/startup.log,last status: %Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S

this will write a status-file every second containing the time of the last update. syntax for the action status-file: Action = statusfile [file-name] = /home/pi/doorpi/startup.log [message] = last status: %Y-%m-%d %H-%M-%S

Exception NameError: list index out of range

The GPIO pins are defined wrong. If you use a PiFace they are 0,1,2 and without you can read the GPIO pins here. Pay attention that you use the pin number and not the number of GPIO port!

This error occurs if you want to stop DoorPi, but you interrupt with your input pjsua. It's not bad. It will restart after some seconds.
