Allow Smart Controller to get its approximate geolocation

By opting in, you will enable the relative schedule feature in the app which is used to show the sunset and sunrise buttons on the schedule page. By opting out, the app will be only able to schedule rooms at a specific time. In this case, you will be guided to set a timezone manually.
Enabling and disabling geolocation usage can be done at any time on the settings page of the app.

 By approximate geolocation, we mean a few kilometres/miles radius of the device position in the moment of your consent. This information is only enough for determining your timezone and approximated sunset and sunrise times. The app does not request the approximate geolocation again unless you manually disable and re-enable this feature in your account settings.
