Make it possible to add devices to a room in the devices list

Post by roblom »

For now it's only possible to add devices to a certain room in the room plan. The main disadvantage is that it's not possible to add multiple devices at once and also it's not possible to add inactive devices.
It would be nice if you can select multiple devices in the devices overview and then add these selected devices to a room all at once.

I also believe that's a great feature:
select more than one device that can be added to the roomplan.
In the picture below, I need to select all devices starting with eNiro: and add them a "car" dashboarb within wallbox and car devices.

Alternatively it is now possible in current beta 2024.4 to add a device to a room from the device edit function

This is useful but does not solve the hassle of having to add the devices one by one. +1 on this request. Thanks.

Would also be nice and "Edit" and "Timers" button next to the "set used/unused" button in the device list. I find it's often easier to use the "devices" page to find a specific device, especially when they are hidden, eg $testdevice. To alter a timer on a hidden device I have to first unhide it and before it appears in switches/utility/scenes etc.

There is not such a screen for dummy devices.

So on other devices when pressing on Edit button you see the roomplan section, but on Dummy devices not? Strange....
I cannot test now but it feels really odd....

I'm on 2024.4 and have no such function at all devices - dummy or real.

When I click on the edit button, I get the following screen.

With other devices I see the screen you placed above. So not all devices can added to a plan on the way you suggest.

So looking at the change that a user made https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/pull/6035 it is only for add/remove device to roomplan in light/switches device edit page. So not on other devices (yet)
