Add LED Support

Currently no support for changing the LED status/color etc.
@stefansundin Has some excellent groundwork over here:

This will probably get left until I can refactor the whole mess into something not terrible.

Hi. I don't think you needed to @-mention me (which in turn sent me an email). Not a problem, but just FYI.

No worries. Just trying to make sure I give you do credit. If love some feedback on things if you've got time, always valuable to get some insight from someone that's touched the device, especially since it seems few have.

It seems like your project is intended for Windows, so not sure how much help I can be. I have been meaning to rewrite my proof-of-concept in C, basing it on the bluetoothctl client (https://github.com/bluez/bluez/blob/master/client/main.c). The python libraries that I've tested all have different kinds of issues, like not being able to use two devices at the same time, or requiring root to reset the connection in case the program didn't exit cleanly earlier.

It's a shame that the device isn't sold anymore, but I also think the build of the bluetooth device isn't as good as the original. It would be nice if they could make a new USB C device with a better build.

Any progress on this? I'm not a programmer but I'd love to know how to support this project! There are a lot of us users out there who NEED Windows support for the Powermate Bluetooth!

I actually haven't done anything with it... I was super motivated and then work and life happened...

Sorry.

If you need basic functionality it's in there... Didn't get to the LED support though.

Might be a longshot, but is there any way to get it to scrub the playhead on the Adobe Premiere timeline? It works on system volume when its selected but no dice when selecting in a video editor.
