How to bundle an HomeGenie package

A package can consist of a folder containing one or more Automation Program, Widget and MIG Interface. In the package folder also a README.md file and a package.json file must be included.

The README.md is a markdown formatted file containing a detailed description with usage instructions for the package.

The package.json file is a JSON formatted file containing the list of files that will be installed.
