Smart light control [ELEMNT]

Second generation ELEMNT computers can control ANT+ connected smart lights.  Users can turn all connected lights on/off using a line item: Bike Lights in the Settings menu. Users can toggle between the proprietary light modes for each light in the sensor details page for that light.  Users can set the ELEMNT computer to turn all lights on/off with the ELEMNT in the ELEMNT companion app.
