Known issues

• "Is telemetry provider connected?" is set to true as soon as any telemetry provider is connected but it will never be false again. Even if the telemetry provider changes or is disconnected. This seems to be a problem of the SimFeedback API.
• Works only correct if Expert mode of SimFeedback is enabled
• Does not work when SimFeedback is started minimized

• ✓ Display of current intensity value on button face (thx @Flag Ghost) (Available since 0.0.2.6)
