I thought I read in another thread that people were unhappy with the decision to gray-out inactive device icons, but I can’t seem to find it again, so if starting a new thread is inappropriate, my apologies.
However,
I cannot stand opening the new app and seeing most of my devices grayed out as if they were offline. I’m suddenly finding myself spending more time scanning for broken clouds than actually interacting with the app.
Reading the words “on”, “off”, “open”, or “closed” wasn’t that difficult. Looking at the little animation in the upper left wasn’t that difficult. Seeing the radio control in the upper right as gray or black for “off” or “on” made perfect sense.
Please! Change it back. Making devices appear offline on the dashboard is really annoying.
There’s pros and cons. I think we were all used to grey = offline. Previously if glancing quickly (and not reading the words) the only way you could tell the status of a sensor was an icon change of three small red lines, some red dots, etc. So this provides a bigger change between inactive and active. But it is very bland looking. I think I prefer the old icon color scheme, but maybe its bias because that’s what I was used to.
