There are times, most especially with mood lighting, when I’ve set up a particular combination of lights and blind settings, and then decide it’s something I’ll want to use again another time.
Currently, that requires me to completely redo all the work I just did to create the setup in the first place.
That can be even more work than it might sound, thanks to a lesson I learned the hard way when first creating scenes: It’s not enough just to switch on the things you want, adjusting brightness, blind position, and so on, but you also need to switch off everything you don’t want on – given that you don’t know what lights might be on at the time you activate a scene.
What I’d like Apple to offer is a “snapshot” feature, for my choice of room, zone, or whole home. Anytime I have a setup I think I’ll want to use again, I should be able to just tell the Home app to save my current state as a scene, simply by choosing Room, Zone, or Home, and giving it a name.
Is a Snapshot feature something you’d find useful, too? Please take our poll, and share your thoughts in the comments.
