chilli_pepper Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Is there a way to add a column of data to tables views? For example, if I click "My Lighting", showing more than the 4 default columns of data? I'd like to show the "Location" or "Notes" data for each device in the table is possible. This will make it easier to pinpoint the exact device I'm looking for. Thanks.
Michel Kohanim Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Hello chilli_pepper, Unfortunately not. This said, you can always use folders in which case the path is shown in the Name column. With kind regards, Michel
chilli_pepper Posted March 12, 2012 Author Posted March 12, 2012 Bummer. This would be a nice capability to have. I currently have devices located under folders and this helps. However, it is a challenge when 2 or more insteon devices control the same light and even moreso when the devices are located in different rooms (and folders). I had started a naming convention @InsteonLocation, and that worked OK until I moved to Mobilinc to help drive the ISY. Mobilinc keys the label off the Name field leading to really long names (and not real Wife friendly). Being able to add the Location or Notes field data to the table would be a nice addition for day to day management of the devices. Perhaps this is something that could be considered for a future release? Also, are there any posts that show recommended naming conventions. A couple easy to find best practices or examples would be great for those starting to use the ISY. Thanks, --C
Michel Kohanim Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Hello chilli_pepper, As much as I would like to say yes, but unfortunately I do not think so since location/properties are stored in a different object for each node and thus, adding them to the overview means a major performance hit. With kind regards, Michel
