- Fixed an issue where, if a room had temperature controls enabled in IBSS, the page within Roamer would refresh every few seconds, causing the page to be unusable

Known Issues
Android: An icon appears on the task bar to inform users when the camera is active. If scanning a QR code in the app Android does not always accurately reflect when the camera is deactivated, and the icon may still show for a short period of time.

iOS: The banner at the top of the homepage may continue to show the loading icon, despite having loaded everything. Simply pulling down the banner again, will refresh the page as normal.
