Added my first LR device via app.
Two things:
-
Scan failed the first time: First time I scanned QR code on device the app returned to SmartStart screen as if nothing had happened.
-
It is not clear that one needs to tap on the "pending" message to enter name and location in the app. There aren't any hints/prompts in the UI to communicate clearly that I need to tap on the "pending" message that appears after a successful scan. It just looked like a message and the app seemed stuck.
-
The name and location info I entered in the pending notification were not transferred to the hub. "Location" is not a hub value - we have "Room" for info on where a device is. How is the "Location" info stored/used on the hub?
-
The editing process for the pending info can leave you "stuck" w/the keyboard up over the dialog, requiring closing the keyboard to access the save button. Works, but clumsy.
-
The choices offered when the pending notification is tapped are going to be completely unfamiliar and confusing to users. Particularly the two Boot Mode options at the bottom, S2 Boot Mode or SmartStart Boot Mode. I frankly wasn't sure what to do so left it at default (S2) but since the pairing process is via SmartStart it sounds like that might be the right choice. Need to insulate folks from these choices, or help them out to keep them from breaking things.
-
Lastly, when I go back into the mobile app, the plug I added does not appear on the Devices tab in the mobile app, where I would expect it to appear.
Details:
After first scan I was returned to this screen as if nothing happened:
After the second scan the app displayed a "pending" status message and there were no indications that I needed to tap on it to edit the name, etc. The single trash can icon made it seem that the only function of the pending message was to offer an option to cancel the pairing via tapping on the trash can. Need to add a pen icon to indicate an edit option or something similar.
After tapping and editing the name and location details. The name and location info are not transferred to the hub:
It's especially confusing if you go look at the hub while the pending message is still displayed, as the device had been paired to the hub and looked normal and was controllable.
Keyboard covering part of the dialog: May not be able to do much here, but it's clumsy as you can't scroll the choices up or down and have to close the keyboard manually.
Lots of confusing options/choices and opportunities for users to mess things up:
Plug I added does not appear on the Devices tab in the mobile app. Appears normally on the hub:
