Loving the new ‘tabbed navigation’ interface beta -- but the app constantly automatically selecting first room in my house in alphabetical order driving me crazy… really don’t want to have to change a room name to ‘zBasement’ : P

Anyone else experiencing this?

If you go to system view you can select the „three lines symbol“ and chose your preferred room view and also pin selected rooms to a fixed view.
If you pin all of your rooms, you always should have the same order.

Yes, but sometimes it selects the room I last selected. So I haven’t been able to figure out the logic in which room gets selected and when. The first one in the list, or the last room selected? It needs to always select the room last used.

Check to see if you have the ability to pin rooms, not perfect but it helps.

You can choose your view and you can pin in the system view. But it still won’t always select the same room when you start the controller app. Which is annoying. The S1 controllers ALWAYS have the last room you used in that controller selected when they are launched.
