Remote for Festool CTL SYS

The Festool bluetooth remote module is not compatible with the CTL SYS. Someone already created a solution to make the bluetooth kit compatible: (https://github.com/jenskueper/festool-ctl-sys-bluetooth).

Inspired by this solution I created a variant using a simple 433MHz based potential free relay
