Create group AVD's with help of a menu / script

[Peter Dee]

Hi Arie,

I've a (far) future feature idea:

For easy grouping of, for instance, RGBW lights, I was thinking of a kind of pre-selector menu / script, to base an new AVD on.

Something like:

‌

Menu / script would be like:

1. user chooses a device class (f.i. Light)

2. *if possible*: user chooses/selects (a) zone(s)

3. automatically pre-select the preferred available capabilities for lights: like OnOff + dim + hue + saturation + color temperature;

-> user can (un)select afterwards

4. automatically pre-select all matching devices

-> user can (un)select afterwards

• *in this example, the pre-selected devices would be: lights with OnOff + dim+hue+sat+c.temp capabilities*

5. select the preferred calculation (min,max,mean etc.)

6. enter a time-out for devices which became unavailable

‌

Current situation:

When I want to create a group of, say, 3 RGBW lights, I have to create 4 numeric fields, and then select the same 3 lights 4 times;

Then I have to select each of the 4 capabilities for each of the 3 lights 4 times

‌

Thanks, curious if it's even possible, and if you want to spend time on it 😊
