The conversation topic was unintuitive aspects of HA, I'm aware hacky workarounds exist, but I find this (pretty central) behavior quite clunky.
I also find it crazy that you've never wanted to dim or brighten more than one light at a time lol but then again, diversity is the spice of FOSS!
I like it too!
Yes thanks, I forgot all of the Spock and Pike stuff was S2, not S1. Also I apparently forgot Section 31 existed!
I know how it works, I'm just saying it's unintuitive. It's not how any other smart home system works.
I use adaptive brightness too, actually. But nearly every time I'm manually adjusting a room's existing brightness, I don't want every single unpowered devices to turn on, too.
99% of the time I want to adjust the current lighting, I don't want to first turn on all lights and then adjust all of those lights to a uniform standard before individually toggling them all individually. Powering on all unpowered lights when adjusting brightness should be the edge case, IMO (also again not just my opinion, but the industry standard)
For the record all other smart home systems treat room groups the way I am describing (like a dimmer knob and power switches). But there isn't even an option in HA for rooms to "only adjust devices currently in use". The smart home companies seem to have researched how people naturally intuit such things.
I would expect it to behave like all other smart home systems, or like a physical dimmer switch/power switch.
The fact that dimming a room turns ON all the lights in the room is actually wild
I do love that it's a literal next generation...again
This 100%. YouTube algorithm pushes people towards the most extreme stuff, soif you search for Star Trek you'll eventually always end up on some ragebait "show".
I personally think Paramount appeals for nostalgia
Discovery was a big hit, and although it had some nostalgic elements in the first season, it very quickly became it's own thing and had a unique style.
SNW also seems to be pretty popular and features TOS characters, but even though it's set in TOS era I wouldn't say it's appealing to nostalgia.
SFA is another one that very much it's own thing and is NOT relying on nostalgia.
Lower Decks and PIC absolutely appeal to nostalgia, but those also seem to be much less popular with general audiences.
Just saying- that if I was a Paramount big wig I think it makes more sense to take the franchise where no star trek show has gone before, rather than backwards. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
The evidence you've presented is truly overwhelming
