How do you change/remove a contact?

Post by PeterG » Tue May 16, 2017 12:45 pm

The app does not seem ready for prime-time. I have previously posted on missing sticky mode function, such as when you are away instead of home - or home instead of away - or up at night past your bedtime and therefore home.
Another missing piece - you can add a contact for a type of notifications but not remove it. What if your partner wants to stop receiving texts or emails? Do you have to remove them from your phone?

Thank you Tom :) for pointing out that to remove an item - contact, scheduled time - you SWEEP it LEFT.

What about my suggestion below to make Modes optionally sticky (on hold) when desired to override a scheduled change or changes. This would make the app immensely more usable when, for instance, you want to leave and set the mode to Away to stay that way until you return, or stay at home during work hours and have the mode set to Home for the day etc. Right now you do what - delete all your scheduled changes? manually reenter the desired mode when ever it changes?

An alpha version of the app included this feature, but we're redesigning it. Stay tuned.

I had the same idea. A hold or pause for your existing modes would be ideal. That way you can make a vacation mode with different times and contacts that can monitor things for a complete 24 hr cycle without deleting your existing modes.

you can already add Custom modes (so one different from Home, Away, Night)

So did something get changed with the app? I can't delete contacts, and swiping to the left or to the right doesn't work.

Neither does edit, delete.

Ooma doesn't seem to be spending a lot of time fixing the Home Security issues/requests.
