Garage open or closed Icon not much difference! (Can't see the status, without glasses) Icon issue

[Walt]

I found many posts on other forums about this issue, but it's still not resolved by shelly!

 

The problem is:

Garage Door closed or opened Icon is very, very similar. I can not see the status, without glasses.

Please remove the "Car inside the House", that will make it visible again, like in the past years!

Why not visualise if the car is away? 😊

You probably didn't understand, what the problem is.

 

The problem is:  Withoug glasses or magnifying glass I can not see any difference in the icon.

I wish, I could see the status more clear. - It's not a matter, if the car is in or out!

 

Seriously.

Entirely no sense for humour? Sorry for this attempt…

@supportadmin who can we communicate this to regarding the visual icons?

Oh well, I do have.

But I didn't realize it was meant to be humorous.

For me, this is a serious issue, and I'm sure, that I'm not the only one with bad eyes, who can see no difference between "Garage door open" or "Garage door closed" icon.

I read also in other forums about people claiming this "problem". F.E. : https://www.smarthome-forum.eu/thread/12458-garagen-icon-neue-benutzeroberfläche-schlechter-als-vorher-shelly1-mit-externen/?thread/12458-garagen-icon-neue-benutzeroberfläche-schlechter-als-vorher-shelly1-mit-externen/

 

I'm wondering, that Shelly didn't change (solve) this since so long.

I was hoping to find somebody form Shelly here, who have "the power" to change the current situation to a better state.

 

Thanks in advance. - And hopefully the "old" icon (without a car inside) comes back in a future firmware update!

 

If somebody agrees with my opinion, please post your thoughts here. - Thanks!

I can understand when you look at it with a glance it and with not great vision I can understand. 

This has been reported 🙂

This seems to be a fundamental issue of this forum: Albeit it depends on the cooperation of users not employed at Shelly Ltd., it is expected that „official“ answers are given by Shelly employees. This is misleading! Most of the users are writing here in their leisure time and are not tied with Shelly Ltd.

Thus, some kind of answers should be tolerated as „not official“ and sometimes kidding. Leisure time is leisure time…

I understand that at first glance, especially with less-than-perfect vision, the differences might not be immediately noticeable.

The forum is a community where many generously volunteer their time to share extensive product knowledge, offering guidance and support to fellow users. While I believe the approach taken in this situation might not have been ideal, and there is certainly room for improvement, it's important to remember that the forum serves as a platform for the community to voice their opinions and contribute to enhancing the product for everyone.

There is a dedicated section in the forum for feature requests, as well as an option to submit feature requests through the ticketing system. Although this particular feature request has been submitted, there is no timeline available for when any changes might be implemented.

Thank you! The Icon is much, much better now!

I have now 3.111.11.

 

Unfortunately other issues with the App recently. (Digital In Switch is much more sensible - Shoots an "open" Message again, even on closing)

And also, if I close the App for an hour, the Password Request comes on the same device again and again. It switches 1 time, and then ask for PW. - I think, I will write that issue in a new thread, or maybe there is already an existing thread about that bugs.
