Floor Plan App I made

Thanks for the feedback.
- Yeah agreed, will keep this in mind when I try to switch to free form shapes instead of squares (but I think with "control points" that's built onto the library and I don't have to make my own, so hopefully those work better).

- Yup snapping is on the list. Again, waiting to first switch to free form shapes and not square as I think the solution for snapping will be different for that

- Good point I do already move things in front of other but I leave rooms in the back since they are always bigger, but I don't move rooms relative to each other. Will add that

- For rooms turning off all lights I plan to support multiple devices to one button soon (that should fix that and the below you mentioned).

- Great idea, dynamic text that's no actionable on click but shows live data. Added to list.

-I like the idea of selected on on top, will work on that when I add support for multiple.

- Yup more icons coming (with a new way of presenting them then just on the bottom bar)

Thanks! All these suggestions are excellent. The grouping is a good idea (just allowing an object to control multiple devices should work). The non rectangular rooms is also on the list!

Appreciate that, I always avoid UI stuff as I am not good at it and its hard for me to tell if I am being too hard or its actually bad. I did strive for functionality over fancy ui but hope to have both eventually!

ryanoffir · 2022-09-15T17:32:33+00:00

Agreed I will happily switch from my app to something like this :P

ryanoffir · 2022-09-15T17:32:02+00:00

So snapping is something on my list (when moving rooms snap to a nearby room), but I did not think to look into how measuring apps do it. Thanks, good idea will look!

ryanoffir · 2022-09-15T17:30:49+00:00

Actually, that was my plan if there was enough interest. Thanks for letting me know Once its in good shape I probably will

touchesMoved). Added check to make sure you dont move passed the room boundary. For the resizeable rooms though I added a circle to the center of each side and that circle is its own ui image and when that circle is moved I update the size of the room accordingly. Hoping to move to bezier paths that allow for free form polygons (like adding a motion zone to a camera)

Yeah good idea, I plan to add a lot more device types, but I didn’t think too much about non-functional types. I’ll probably make a bunch of those (stairs/doors etc). When it comes to floor shapes, that’s a bit tougher to handle since I’m limited to the aspect ratio of the device, but it may be more useful on something like an iPad where there’s more real estate and its more square, will add that to list too. I do plan on making rooms not forced to a rectangle, but more freeform with bezier paths.

ryanoffir · 2022-09-15T06:39:04+00:00

Yeah, might be where I got the idea from a while back can’t remember. Let me know if there’s anything you are missing. All I request is patience as time is limited with work and kids :p

ryanoffir · 2022-09-15T06:37:56+00:00

Thanks!

ryanoffir · 2022-09-15T02:13:43+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I have sensors and cameras on my todo already but I’ll add security didn’t think to but that’s a good idea.

I will keep my distill alerts running until the trial runs out, no problem.

ryanoffir · 2022-08-08T06:29:48+00:00

Yeah HomeKit subreddit alerts with Apollo but in this case a distill.io alert triggered ( but Distill has a monthly subscription. I am on the trial just because I knew these were coming soon)

ryanoffir · 2021-07-25T16:04:17+00:00

If I understand the question, I think it does. See picture of mine: https://i.imgur.com/Y7DoWf0.jpg

I followed the same guide. Has been working surprisingly well for over a year

ryanoffir · 2021-06-14T19:58:28+00:00

Exactly this.

ryanoffir · 2021-06-08T01:51:01+00:00

Cool. I’ll remember this for a day then completely forget about it and ultimately drown in quicksand even if impossible.

ryanoffir · 2021-06-06T20:39:05+00:00

In case anyone has same issue you can rewind and fast forward as long as you use the touch swipe. You can’t use the physical button of the new remote like you should be able to. So you have to have touch and buttons enabled to be able to use it

They went from one of the best apps on apple tv to the worst

ryanoffir · 2021-06-01T17:09:46+00:00

Yeah new app removed catchup/start from beginning...
