WTH - Using Person or User Throughout the UI

[petro]

This is a duplicate of about 5 different WTHs. The only unique WTH here is

@mcginnie

Trackers and other devices should be able to have person associations

Please adjust this post to only request that, otherwise this will be closed. We want to keep all votes for specific features separate.

Bullet 1

@mcginnie

A person should have a list of notification media associated - maybe with preference ordering

vote here instead

Bullet 2

@mcginnie

The person/user distinction should be collapsed

This won't happen. Users can not be people. I.e. Alexa, Google Home, other services using credentials to send information to HA.

I.e. a person is a user and a person, but you can have users that are not people. I use this frequently to follow voice commands sent to HA.

Bullet 4

@mcginnie

Specific data should be able to be associated with persons e.g. if a passcode is given to a user then the passcode field might be added to all users so it can be matched to identify the user

Take your pick

custom attributes

custom attribute templates

tagging entities with specific info

Bullet 5

@mcginnie

Access rights should be associated with the person

One of the largest WTH's

Bullet 6

@mcginnie

Persons should be groupable e.g. children and parents, in a similar way to areas

group people
