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:

• Shape the UI around how people in a household find, use, and share their smart home information roadmap#129
• Evaluate and refine a potential introduction of device types roadmap#134

Out of Scope:

• Any other device / group for now

Plan

Epic 1: Evaluate and identify ways to shape the UI around how people in a household find, use, and share their smart home information (Priority: High)

• Discuss and align on how to shape the UI navigation and have them documented
• Including research on our user base and expectations

Epic 2: Define first focus area of UI improvements to start implementation (Priority: High)

• Depending on the outcome of Epic 1 we aim to focus on iteratively work on selected focus areas keeping to overarching goal in mind

Epic 3: Evaluate and refine a potential introduction of device types (Priority: High)

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