Hi,
Now we have labels I am thinking about what I can use them for and how in order to build an effective and consistent system. After all there is nothing worse than just start without a concept and later having to redo everything.
I want to start an idea and discussion and brainstorming how we can use labels in the best way.
Some ideas I had so far:
- Type of connection (Zigbee, Wifi, Ethernet etc.)
- Type of device (Light, Cover, Mediaplayer etc.)
- Power Source (Mains powered, battery powered)
- Exposed to Alexa, Google Home etc.
- Priority entities (e.g. when you have multiple temperature sensors in one room show which is the primary one to use)
Another thing is label colors. Would you give each label its own color, where you will eventually run out and have to multi use colors? Or would you rather use a color for all labels for a certain group (e.g. type of connection labels all in blue)?
So if you have already started organizing you label system or you also have good ideas please share.
Thanks
