Contributions summary:Gabor contributed significantly to the `arendst/tasmota` repository by implementing support for the SM16716 RGB LED controller. Their work involved writing new code (xdrv_20_sm16717.ino) to control the SM16716, including functions for sending data, updating color values, and integrating with the Tasmota framework. They also added GPIO definitions in sonoff_template.h and localization definitions in el-GR.h, along with minor bug fixes and style improvements. Furthermore, the user added SetOption37 for RGB remapping.
