I haven't watched the whole video, but one thing that does spring to mind is, if you have a PC that is always on, would be to use EventGhost running on the PC, calling the local Python / bat scripts. I use EventGhost for a couple of things myself, so it can be done, including running a bat file on my PC.
If you don't have a PC that is always on or that you are happy to use to host this setup, then I probably need to take another look at the driver code I wrote and see if I can get it to work, or open it up to others to test. I'll see what I can come up with in the next couple of weeks, if you don't want to go down the PC path.
