Easier way to Replace defective lamps/bulbs ?

Robert Hercz shared this idea 6 years ago
Under Consideration

As Ikea (and perhaps also soon others) have Zigbee lamps at a very low cost, I guess we'll move more and more away from in-wall swich/dimmer modules and over to directly controllable lamps/bulbs.

This poses a support nightmare for systems integrators, installers and "daddy support" people, as the currently only way to change a defective light bulb is to rebuild each and every rule and scene which uses the defective bulb.


Could I kindly ask Zipato to add - especially for the Zipatile - functionality to 1) show newly added "currently unused" devices, together with a selection menu of "currently used" - and a function to swap the newly added device for one of the currently used devices?

you can do this with z-wave devices only currently, and you need to swap like for like, so a fibaro fgs 223 for fgs 223 not fgs 222 or zipato dual.

Hopefully this can be expanded as you say for other protocols and devices.
