Dimmer

What's new:

v2.0.0 b8 (31 Jul 2020)

------------------------

- [FIX (partial)] The issue with "index out of bounds" stems from the fact that the
DeviceName was used to establish screen device order and count. I found a different
way to set this but the order might still be incorrect, however, this is a major
improvement and will solve this critical issue for a lot of people.

- [FIX] Touch devices no longer have the keyboard appearing when operating the
sliders

------------------------

expected behaviour

system Logoff, Restart or Shutdown
