Light Presets and schedules for Groups + Device settings sharing
Hi
I'm coming with two proposals for 2 new functionalities. These 2 share the same characteristics, but concern groups and rooms.
1/ Schedules
- As of now, users can set up schedules on each individual device. However, if user bought 6 light bulbs and wants to schedule the colour (eg. 9:00 Cool white, 16:00 Warm white, 21:00 Amber orange), he would have to do it on each device individually.
- Having the ability to set a schedule to all devices I a given group would be very handy
- If a device is located in multiple groups/rooms, include selection which group is the master for the device's schedule (eg. víš radiobuttons)
2/ Presets
- Same as before - if user buys 6 light bulbs and sets them into a group, they'll have to setup each presets individually (I have 6 custom presets on my two grouped lightstrips, which I had to set manually)
- As of now, groups don't have customizable presets. This can be solved either by:
a) allowing users to edit group presets
b) adding a functionality "Import presets from device" - user will then setup a preset for one device, and then can set it up for a whole room (or even, after adding new same-cat device - copy it to the new device)
The "Import presets" could be possible for schedules as well
I'm a UX designer and the lack of these functionalities seems short-sighted to me, as I would expect the users to expect these as a default ones.
