Rigs -> Groups of devices and scenes for different physical setups

[enso-media]

As already discussed on Discord, a "Rigs" feature would be an excellent addition for more professional setups:
The current organisation of devices is very static. For hobby and home lighting thats ok, but when it gets a bit more professional you need more flexibility.

For example a touring band or a DJ will play on different venues and stages, each with different sizes and abilities. Due to this the light setup often has to be fitted on a specific stage. When its small maybe you want a centered LED Matrix and 2 upright LED tubes on the left and right. But when its wide maybe you have room for 2 additional matrix displays and more tubes and so on...

Right now, different setups are only possible by cluttering the UI with a lot of scenes and then abuse the tags to match a scene to a specific setup. The second option would be to export and import the whole configuration each time. Both variants are not a good usability and of course you still see irrelevant devices in the sidebar and tab that maybe not used right now in the current environment.

So "Rigs" would come in handy, where you can create a group of devices and scenes for a specific setup/environment. Selecting this rig then only shows the corresponding subset of items that are really needed at the time.

Under the hood this feature could simply work exactly the same way as the scene tags already does (A rig is just a tag that can be added to devices and scenes. In a dropdown selection in the header and/or sidebar you can select your current rig, which then filters devices and scenes to only those that belongs to this setup).

I really like this feature request.
I'm doing the lights at a venue where we are changing the stage setup a lot. Smaller, bigger, half size venue and the like. Plus I'm not the only one doing lights. We have even set up git so we can checkout, pull, push, update and build on each others config files.
Rigs would make it easy to have one big config file, synchronized across host devices and go between the different setups.

Another thing i can think of that this feature request has over just changing config files for different rigs, would be to have your own gradient and effect presets available across rigs, instead of having to recreate them every time you change configs..
