Feature Request - Simplify Device Access

Simplify Controller Access. I use the app for monitoring my Rain Machine. When I start the app I am presented with a list of my Rain Machine devices. I only have one device. I find it weird that I always have to select my device out of the "list.". It would be better if the app would auto load the device if there is only one device on the account. Basically skip this step when only one device exists. Only ask questions that need to be asked.

It might seem like a small thing, but I submit it worth fixing. For one, I would guess that the vast majority of Rain Machine owners only have one device. All of these people have an extra click every time they launch the device. On top of that, their first impression of the app is a mostly white screen which has only one thing to do. It doesn't show well. At least not as well as the home screen. So in summary the vast majority of customers are forced to go through an unnecessary experience that looks kind of dismal everytime they use the app. And it would be easy to fix this. Hope this help make the product even better. This goes for the web controller page as well.

This makes sense. Even better if multiple controllers are aggregated to appear as one in the web interface and ap. There are other threads on the aggregation ideas, so I won't expand on the idea here. Skipping the selecting controller will be a good convenience for the near term even if later ability for aggregation makes it less useful.

Seems so simple and logical.

Or even more general, you can declare one or none as the automatically selected.

On this way who has only one this one is coming up, if somebody has 2 and one is the most used he can also profit to have it selected automatically.

How can we help?
