Comment field

Has HE considered adding a comment field to the device configuration screen?
It would be a great place to track when the battery was last changed.

You can do this now via @thebearmay’s Custom Device Note app:

[RELEASE] Custom Device Note App

This small app will allow you to add a custom note(s) to any device under the Data section of the Device Details. Application is available via HPM or the following link may be used to import: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thebearmay/hubitat/main/apps/custDevNote.groovy [image] [image] Device Details: [image]

I think it would be really good if we could add a couple of custom columns to the device list to use for what data we wanted. There's plenty of room - at least there is on a PC browser

Thanks ritchierich,
I tried it but it's not what I expected.
It's a bit clunky in adding notes.
I was hoping to be able to add a note directly in the device config/details screen instead of going thru another app.
I installed but removed it after testing it.

Yes, this has been requested before.

Notes section in a device

We're not sure this is a good idea. We see the utility of it, but it's not a good plan to load up drivers with extra data that really has nothing to do with communicating with the actual device.

Maybe just a link to another page (app?) that would have the actual notes would be a good compromise?
