Evolve information architecture and visual representation thereof #7

Description

@mkerstner

Goals

We aim to tackle 3 things here:

  • Evaluate the overarching UI to best reflect the underlying information architecture and meeting the intents of our users while navigating it
  • Continue discussion and concrete way forward for the proposal of introducing “Device Types”
  • Tackle device/type specific information architecture topics and mapping it appropriately with the overarching UI

Vision

We aim to further refine our underlying information architecture and visual representation thereof while focusing on selective areas to achieve it.

Scope & Boundaries

In Scope:

  • Discussion of visual representation (UI/UX)
  • Discussion of underyling information architecture
  • Discussion on introduction of "device types" in particular
  • Shaping information architecture & representation of location based devices, starting with vacuums

Out of Scope:

  • Any other device / group for now

Plan

Epic 1: Evaluate and refine the information architecture and visual representation thereof (Priority: High)

  • Goal is to discuss and align on proposed ways forward and have them documented

Epic 2: Do a first iteration upon the changes in the information architecture (Priority: High)

  • Depending on the outcome of Epic 1 we aim to focus on selected areas iteratively

Epic 3: Evaluate and refine a potential introduction of “Device Types” (Priority: High)

  • We want to revisit the discussion around Device Types once more and evaluate a potential way forward, both from a product/UX and technical perspective

Epic 4: Shape information architecture & representation of location based devices - Robot vacuums (Priority: High)

  • Assumption: We generally have a solid foundation and solid on-top integrations like Roborock to base further optimizations on
  • Still, mapping rooms from integrations to HA areas in general is not ideal at the moment from an UI perspective
  • Also, more advanced features of a coherent cleaning experience are missing specifically covering “area” (spot/zone/area)
