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.
