Prevent variable mangling. #7

Closed kapstok closed 5 years ago

$USERNAME is a variable reserved in Unix for the logged in user. Calling

$ export USERNAME="my-tradfri-username"

could lead to undesired results. To prevent this issue from happening to other variables* as well, all variables have the TF_ (TradFri) prefix.

* Variables used by other systems.
