TundraSonic Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Seemingly stupid question but... Currently this door and its e-lock are listed in the garage on our system. It seems to me that this s/b in the interior room - the mud room. Similar to the door in the mudroom that goes outside. Thoughts? Is there a reason it s/b in the garage? Thanks.

msgreenf Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 but you can show anything in more then 1 room. Technically doors connect rooms, so it would make sense to show them in 2 rooms eggzlot and TundraSonic 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzlot Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Or to make less rooms why not combine the mud room and garage into one room? I am assuming you do not have audio/video in these rooms, likely just doors/locks, sensors, and lights. Really could be 1 room if you want to be super efficient and already have too many rooms.

BraydonH Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I vote Mud Room. But why not put it in both TundraSonic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TundraSonic Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Thanks all. They are quite separate spaces and we also have audio in each so I think we'll keep them separate. Have you guys run in to confusion when things are listed in multiple rooms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you guys run in to confusion when things are listed in multiple rooms? shouldn't be confusion if the lock/door is labeled mud room entry door. I have 3 doors/entries into my house (Front, basement and patio) and we have them listed in ALL rooms. in case we want to know if we left something unlocked we don't want to go into the c4 app, then pick a room. I just want the app to load and open up that room that first pops up and check the door locks. If I had 20 doors with locks it may be different, but with only 3, it fits into each room. Each room may have 2-5 sensors max, so adding 3 doors does not really bog down the UI in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely (there is no right answer), I prefer a catch-all room called "Whole House" where I put the things like door locks and garage doors that I want to be able to see at a glance all at once.

zaphod Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I was hoping for a religious debate here, like the debate between spaces or tabs for commenting code, or the debate over the Oxford comma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Certain items like locks and sensors I actually have exposed in all rooms. They're clearly named, and this allows for no need to change rooms/switch between room/all to check or control them. Actually do the same with the fireplaces - quick check to see if the one in the basement is off. Oh and Tabs. And oxford comma isn't a debate, it's a fact that news-articles can't wrap their head around msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TundraSonic Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Most editors I work with tend to dislike any comma not clearly needed for clarity. Of course, the editor, from whom the bulk of my income comes from, hasn't seen the comma, she didn't like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaphod Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Why is the Oxford comma a heated debate: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/oxford-comma-debate/ There was a great scene in Silicon Valley where the protagonist dumped his girlfriend because she used spaces rather than tabs for commenting code: OceanDad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
