I like the controllable status LED bar!
I haven’t figured out what to do with it yet, since I’m still installing the switches, but some sort of notification ought to be handy.
As a related example, if I walk past an Alexa device and notice it’s yellow, I can ask “Alexa, what’s your notification?”. I’m picturing something similar with the switches, except there are more colors and flashing to add context. They may be discreet, but they’re also everywhere. Since switches tend to be near room entrances or you may even use them, I think they’d be noticeable
If you come up with a good idea for it, let me know.
I never figured out what to do with it.
I figured having them everywhere is key for notifications . One is easy to miss if you’re not in the room, but if they’re everywhere, you’re bound to notice it.
Maybe yellow for low batteries anywhere or change filter or something
