ISY99i - Global Renaming Feature Request

[gsownsby]

To make the list of devices more understandable in the "tree structure" of the ISY99i, I tend to standardize on device naming like:

 

0A.2B.7F.1 MBRCon A

0A.2B.7F.2 MBRCon B

0A.2B.7F.3 MBRCon C

 

where MBRCon X means (to me) "Master Bedroom Controller Switch A"

 

New users to the ISY often have to name/rename, name/rename, devices often until their final design settles down. It would be very helpful if the ISY had a global renaming featue (similar to word processing), where a phrase could be searched for and then replaced.

 

So if I needed to rename all "MBRCon" references with "MBRCon1", I could do so easily. This would be especially helpful with keypads where there are several buttons on the same device. Thanks.

I had a post a while ago requesting the ability to change the color of the type for the devices and scenes.

 

That would help me identify groups of devices and scenes.

I like that idea too. Certainly sounds like a good enhancement.

Hello gsownsby,

 

This is an excellent idea. Thanks so very much ... it shall be added to our requirements priority low.

 

With kind regards,
