Services are ordered weirdly in the Home app #187

Closed jeff-winn closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe: As a user while I am using the Home app the order of the services always puts a contact sensor or motion sensor on top of the button that actually turns it on or off when they’re all grouped together.

Describe the solution you'd like: It would be nice if the switch to turn the mower on was on top rather than always having to open the group to turn it on/off.

Describe alternatives you've considered: Right now it just leaves everything at random so each user likely has a slightly different experience.

Additional context: ebaauw mentioned on discord that using the service label index will let the dev manually control ordering the services.

After investigating, this will likely be a breaking change to anyone with existing mowers already registered and will need intervention to remove them so they can be reattached.

For reference, it was kinda annoying me but I also ran across the following post on Reddit:

Basically asking the exact same thing as I have been.

There's nothing I can actually do to keep this corrected, even if I do this the minute they change how they're displaying Apple will take over control and do what they want anyway overriding what I've done.
