Better Thermostat - 1.6.1

Dear Community

I'm very sorry that things have been so quiet the last few months, there were several private reasons for that. But now in the winter season there will be more releases again and I will be more active. Since it is now a large project and there are now over 200 issues, many of which are duplicated or outdated, I would ask everyone to check, answer or close theirs or others so that we can concentrate on the most important things. Thanks.

I would also say Thanks from the ground of my hart to all the supporters and contributors out there!
You guys are awesome, keep the fire burning for open source and free projects like this one.
