Which devices should I hide


Geoff Shumack

Question

Hi, a very newbie here.

 

I'm very new to HC2 and went about setting up my devices into rooms once the electrician had installed them and noticed many were hidden so I unhid them all, maybe a mistake!

Now I find many are not needed and I'm getting alerts from some I have rehidden, not sure which ones I need, should use and leave unhidden.

Is there a listing somewhere of their specific role/tasks and what should be hidden as their not required for normal tasks?

For example a Fibaro single switch has a master then 4 slaves:

Guessing the master is for global settings for the switch slaves? 

The first slave is a switch but the energy consumption doesn't read so I haven't been using this.

The second is a remote controller and I'm not sure what this does.

The third is another switch and does show energy consumption and this is the one the one I have been using to turn the light on and off and in scenes.

The fourth is another switch but does nothing.

 

Also is there a template example of a common basic room/device setup?

 

Any assistance appreciated or if I have missed this topic in another post if you could point me in the right direction please.
