Smart Lighting Smarter

Didn’t find a single thread to place this, so starting one.

One idea for the moment, didn’t want to lose it:

1. Automatic naming of the Lighting Automation should start with the device it’s acting on. It will help “group” the majority of the simple automations. Currently alphabetizing based on “Turn On…” helps in no way. This would at least be something.
2. More here…

Edit: If I missed a good place to put this, let me know.

Smart Lights - Feature Requests

OK, I like the new Smart Lights app. It can do a lot that other community apps do. Now, onto the feature request!!! Add Lux sensor options Adding the ability to use a lux sensor (even if it is just the generic weather) would go a long way to making the lights truly “smart.” For example, the option to only execute if the lux is below a certain threshold. Different levels for different dimmers This is very much needed. If I turn on 4 dimmer switches, I might not want them to all turn up to the same level. Theres a great SmartApp called Dim and Dimmer that does this. https://github.com/statusbits/smartthings/blob/master/DimAndDimmer.md
