Added support in 077fee7 please update the app

[slymuzzle]

Hi, thanks! Everything works now, except LightFX. The color is applied only to the power button, not to the keyboard itself.

I also ran awcc test-zones, and it only detected the power button zone:

Zones found:
Power: 0x2

Currently lights are supported using https://github.com/tr1xem/alienfx-linux
