Been thinking a lot about how unnecessarily clunky some SmartHomeHarmony interfaces can be. It feels like we're still in the early days of UI/UX design for truly integrated smart homes. Specifically, I think the biggest pain point is the sheer number of apps needed to control everything. You've got one for lights, another for security, a third for your thermostat, and so on.There's gotta be a better way to consolidate control without sacrificing customization. Maybe a truly customizable dashboard that lets users prioritize and group frequently used devices, regardless of brand? Or enhanced voice control that doesn't get tripped up by similar device names ("turn on the living room light" vs. "turn on the light in the living room").What are some specific improvements you'd like to see in SmartHomeHarmony interfaces to make them more intuitive and user-pleasant? What design choices drive you nuts, and what features would be game-changers?
