Are there any recommended best practices?

I’m doing a fresh setup on a new system and want to use this opportunity to organise things better. Previously it was quite a mess 😅

Some loose thoughts:

  • I don’t really want to use the brand, so I could replace devices
  • Not all devices have a fixed place (e.g. the phone), so using the room in the name might not be a nice solution, or I could use “portable” instead for those

    In my installation, I use descriptive names like, e.g. ‘wall light couch’, ‘ceiling light living room’, etc. or ‘night light’, ‘bright’, ‘mood’ for scenes.

      Same here. My primary use case is making it work naturally for a voice assistant, so it’s a bit inconsistent because it needs to reflect what we actually call things
