Sub/Slave devices title

Post by Number8 »

Hello,
I'd like to share some idea related to the title "Sub/Slave devices" that seems to be misinterpreted and difficult to understand to any person that discovers Domoticz(as for me BTW). When one has discovered what it is used for, then obviously the exact meaning of the title does not make any problem anymore since we know it is all about.
I came to the conclusion that maybe the title is not the best to describe the function. To me Sub/Slave means that the slave device depends on the "Master device" which is not obviusly the case.
I think a title like "Linked devices" would be more meaningfull for what it actually is.

Any other thoughts?

I agree that the function of this feature is not clear for a newby, at least not for me.

Another way to deal with this problem is give an expolaination of this feature in the manual or on the wiki.

It is indeed explained in the manual, but I always found it was not easy to grasp the concept.
This is why I was suggesting a rewording. Any thoughts on the dev side?
