Hi,
Cause I cannot edit my first post, I will reply to myself with my first impressions :)
The pros:
- The X1 is really nice to use, very simple and nice to take in hands.
- for the screen on top, only the wheel can control it, we get used very quickly as it is very simple (and no more fingerprints on the screen). Good point.
- if the remote is on the couch, it will not wake up if we move a lot, and it will not drain the battery (also a good point, but we have to press the button twice to have the action)
- again, the app is really simple to configure when we had already a harmony
- the database of devices is really complete, I have found my 9 devices!! (except a little thing for the apple tv for which I never could connect the bluetooth device, but it works normally without it)
- my bad, in fact, we can modify the activities without activating the devices. we can simply click on the edit button to edit an activity :)
For the tests, I will put numbers if the support/developpers really read my post:
1. possibility to add a device to an existing activity (without deleting and re-creating the activity to add/remove the devices)
2. it miss a web interface to modify the configuration without using the phone
3. miss a local API to control either the activities or the devices
4. for the devices or the activities, the possiblity to add keys/macros with url actions for the home automation (http/https url)
5. a menu "set" less visible (for example we could reach this menu by pressing a key a long time
6. for my activities, I would like to be able to re-order the keys/macros (without delete and re-create it to have the right order)
7. add new languages (french), I can help for the traduction if you want
Hardware limitations I think:
a. should be useful to have a keyboard 0-9 to access the channels (for example to go to the channel 123...) but the screen is not a touch one and the wheel only goes up/down...
b. possibility to have a different display for the "home" of the X1 (activities and devices): in grid instead of list. or at least a scrolling name when the name is more than 8 characters
I hope someone will read it and share its opinion as I really want to help improve it :)
BR.
