Additional ordering field on lights/groups #25

Closed twam closed 9 years ago

twam commented 11 years ago

It would be nice to add 'ordering' field to the lights/groups so that we have a reproducible way to order the list on different devices. This could be simple integer value.

i have been asked by a friend to make an app that does this, do you have any idea how to go about this? i would like to see what would be involved before attempting this

twam commented 10 years ago

You can only do this within your app. The bridge has no support for something like this up to now.

As stated by @twam we currently don't support storing the order of devices in the bridge. I don't expect this kind of features being supported anytime soon as our bridge has limited hardware and storage. Please use your own mechanism to store an order across devices, for example by storing this information in a backend service (iCloud, Parse to name a few).
