Better management of variables

[DirkG]

In general, the Homey WebApp is still in beta phase. Bugs and suggestions can be reported to Athom.

1 - Feature request (support@athom.com)

@Herve69

Change the position of each variable (up / down)

No, but:
2 - in the overview in the smartphone app (More → Logic) the variables are sorted alphabetically, probably also numerically.
3 - maybe it helps to use an own system, e.g. B_ for boolean, N_ for numeric and S_ for variables with strings, or the name of the room, or something similar…
4 - there is a search function.
5 - please see point 1.

@Herve69

Create folders to classify variables (like Weather, Alarm, Doors …)

No, but:
6 - please see point 1 and 3.

@Herve69

For each variable, get the list of all flows that are using the variable

Yes, via homey script. Thx to @RonnyW!

@Herve69

When changing the name of a variable, let Homey automaticcaly update the variable’s name in the flows that are using this variable

7 - Unfortunately, the name of the variables are only partially automatically updated. Variables inserted via tags are automatically updated. Variables inserted via dropdown are not automatically updated. You have to update them manually in the flows.
Maybe it can be done via a homey script, but I don’t know.
8 - please see point 1.

@Herve69

etc …

9 - Yes and no…
