Make Parent/Child

📢 Feedback Feature Requests
1

I use the Average Temperature and Average Humidity app driver. It is clean, smooth and efficient.
As my HE interface continues to improve, I would benefit by this tool being a Parent / Child app. Currently I load multiple iterations and it adds to my App list depth. If it were built more like - for example only - the Button Controller I'd have all my iterations rolled up under it.
As you can see from my small screen cap, each iteration of Average Temp I begin with "AT-" to group them as well as identify them when used in rules etc. The same with Average Humidity - which all begin with "AH-". Also visible is the nicely collapsed Button Controller (I have 4)

Thank you for considering.

I don’t think Hubitat staff take feature requests for app code posted in their GitHub example-apps repo.

The app code available there is just that, example code for community developers to use.

Assuming that’s what you’re referring to. If not, please clarify.

Have you considered rewriting your own app as a parent-child with the example code as a starting point?

I don't have high expectations - I recognize that HE sourced apps and drivers rarely change and/or are from legacy environs.
A feature request can have 2 effects. Besides the obvious idea that may offer improvement in/around these 2 particular apps I use in their current form, it also puts an 'ear worm' for future items that HE may create or supply that may benefit from a similar criteria.
So simply just the act of submitting a feature request may help HE improve their product long term. Consider it a form of feedback. (it is, after all, in the feedback category).

Writing the apps myself would indeed solve my desires, but helps no one else. I submit feedback as a way to communicate with HE possible ideas to improve their product over time.

Hubitat apps and drivers change all the time.

Those updates to built-in apps and drivers are part of the hub firmware.

Perhaps if there is sufficient interest from users, they would consider adding built-in Average Humidity and Average Temperature apps.
