Devices sorted order

Hi,

Should be nice to allow every user to organize his devices / rooms (for the ones he is allowed to).

Now only the admin can organize the devices.

 

Then on the Mobile app, have the same organisation as on the web view. Now devices are sorted by ID. (It is possible to organise rooms, but not the devices)

I've already talked about it elsewhere on this forum...

also "virtual rooms" would be nice, where you can create your room with the devices you actually need.

How about a "Favorites Tab" in the mobile application? Possible to set as default screen when app is launched? On the favorits tab you can place units, scenes rooms etc. That would be really useful!

Very nice suggestions here.

Here is my analysis:

 

Case: When I (or my wife) wants to make an action using a VD (turn on music using a VD for example, or adjust the temperature) we have to

ACTUAL SITUATION:

To access a VD:

- open the application

- go to Rooms

- go to Lounge Room

- Select the Virtual Device

- click on a button of the VD

-> 5 clicks (including opening the application) to make an action...

 

To access a plugin (thermostat):

- open the application

- go to Plugins

- go to Lounge Room

- Select the Netatmo thermostat

- click on a button to adjust the temperature

-> 5 clicks (including opening the application) to make an action...

 

Favorite Room Solution:

A favorite room that can be opened by default at launch would be saving two clicks:

- open the application

- go to Favorite Room (Shortcut to  Lounge Room)

- Select the Virtual Device/Plugin

- click on a button of the VD/thermostat Plugin

-> 4 clicks (including opening the application) to make an action

 

Home Screen Shortcut Solution:

To save even more un-needed clicks, the possibility to place on the home screen of the app one or more "shortcuts" to device(s), virtual device(s). scène(s)

- open the application

- Select the Virtual Device/Plugin

- click on a button of the VD/thermostat Plugin

-> 3 clicks (including opening the application) to make an action

 

ACTUAL Androïd Widget Shortcut Solution:

On Android, there is a possibility to use a widget, it's a nice feature but it's only for scenes, not Virtual Devices.

- One click on the icon

-> 1 click (no need to open the application) but there is no feedback.

 

Enhanced Androïd Widget Shortcut Solution:

Maybe the best solution is to create a widget that launch the Fibaro app directly on a Device/Virtual Device/Room/Alarm Panel/Plugin... this way, it's 2 clicks instead of 5...

- One click on the icon, the Fibaro application opens on the VD/Device/Scene/Panel

- Click on the button of the VD/ Thermostat Plugin/start scene/...

-> 2 clicks (including opening the application) to make an action

 

For Androïd users, I think that the last solution is the best (Enhanced Androïd Widget Shortcut Solution).

For iPhone Users, the Home Screen Shortcut Solution would be the fastest.

Very Nice. I like the  "Favorites tab"/"Home Screen tab" where you can put for example the VD och other units. 

 

Turn on reciever

-start the app

-start the reciver from the favorites tab

 

2 clicks.

 

If you swipe to the right from favoritestab should be the defaultscreen of the app today.

if it's a VD it's 4 clicks, not 2...

 

Turn on reciever

-start the app

- choose the favorite tab

- OPEN THE VD

-start the reciver

 

Or maybe it's just a Wallplug or FGS ? then it's 3 clicks

Turn on reciever

-start the app

- choose the favorite tab

-start the reciver

+1   ...or at least apply admin's order to all users.
