This version contains some minor big fixes, and also some preparation work to support upcoming wireless soil moisture sensors.
- All heaters and lights are turned off while water pump is on to direct all power to the pump and reduce risk of power supply being overloaded and tripping out.
- A more robust measurement for triggering the low-water alarm should lead to fewer false alerts.
- Reduced temperature measurement resolution to 0.5C to improve sensor read speed.
- Don't send all sensor data when updating server when peripherals turn on/off; speeds up the update and improves battery life on solar units.
- Extra protection to ensure that all 3 aux power outputs are not on at the same time ( to prevent power supply overload ). Heater 2 will turn off if lights are supposed to be on.
