AIM Application

aimapp.py - The AIM Application is the center application which will recieve events from all other resources within the AIM framework. It will subscribe to messages from the AIM Message Bot and the AIM Lights modules. Whenever a message is sent to the Bot containing the words "light" and "on" then it will send an event to the AIM Lights to change the state of the lights. The same applies for "light" and "off", there is also a "light status" query which will return the current state of the lights.
