Hello!

I am thrilled to announce the release of this new version 1.2.7, which includes some amazing new features and improvements based on user feedback.

I have added a relock iPhone feature after using the Lock Screen widget, a roller blinds/shutters position dimmer, a new shortcut action, and more. I am grateful to all of you for your continued support, and I hope these new features will make your experience even better.

Please make sure to update your device's operating system to the latest version to take advantage of the relock iPhone feature.

I also want to take a moment to ask for your help in spreading the word about my app. Marketing an app can be challenging, and I would be grateful if you could share the app with your friends and family, leave a review on the App Store, and help us reach more people who could benefit from my app.

Here's what's new in version 1.2.7:

- Adds a relock iPhone feature after using the Lock Screen widget (last iOS version only. Please update your device OS).
- Adds a dimming action type for roller shutters/blinds. You can now precisely position the opening position using the slider.
- Adds the roller shutter/blind's current position on button items (like for dimming lights).
- Adds a new "Launch Shortcut (without return)" action to launch actions like opening the TV remote, locking the phone.
- Improves the "Toggle - Dimmer" cinematic so that when a lamp goes from ON to OFF state, you have a delay to slide the dimmer and cancel the toggle OFF action.
- Improves the behavior of manually reducing the app.
- Fixes an offset issue on the panel carousel.
- Improvements and bug fixes.

Thank you for your support, and I look forward to continuing to improve the app for you."
