Devices without parts are not available in the Scenes trigger "Device state change"

Development

I noticed that devices configured without rooms in the house are not available in the scene trigger « Device state change », it would be nice to see them even if they are not attached to a room in the house: this avoids frustrating a typical user who wouldn’t think about rooms directly and would probably say « it’s not working » when the issue actually comes from the rooms.

They are categorized by room in the dropdown list, we could:

  • either remove the room category in the dropdown and include devices without rooms there (not sure if there’s value in having devices sorted by room)
  • or add a category at the very bottom of the dropdown « No rooms » with the devices that are not configured in a room of the house (I prefer this solution because no user adaptation is required, just a new « category »; maybe some people like finding their devices by room in this dropdown)

I’m not sure how to categorize this kind of feedback, feature request? bug? I can create a GitHub issue if needed

You’re right indeed!

I don’t have much more to say about the two solutions you propose; I think the option where we remove the part could work?
