just started testing and can report the install, initialization, and basic function all seems great. Hard to tell if it's any "faster" but no complaints. crashed HS3 once but i think it was a zwave hang so not blaming that on Scenemaster.
UI filter is nice -- once you figure out to hit "enter" to lock the filter data. May want to clarify/change that so easier for new users. I really like that it auto-clears when you select a new scene but is remembered when you return.
re: Scene triggers-- seems like an interesting feature, but the drop-list doesn't show any of the devices that I typically use for scene controls. specifically, Wallmote keypads, Momentary switches wired thru arduinos, zwave motion detectors, and HSTouch buttons. it does list zwave light switches which i use for double/triple click actions but i can't imagine wanting to cycle thru scenes that way. it shows tons of devices like thermostats, pool controls, audio control, etc... maybe something amiss with logic for selecting possible triggers?
re: the No Change feature -- i tried it and it works fine. not quite sure where to use it. i can imagine adding my fireplace to a lighting scene where i want it controlled independently - but i have events for all keypad presses so isn't hard to add device controls as well as scene elections. Did you add this to solve some specific scenario?
one small thing -- it disables the "include in dim" checkbox when you select "no change". probably correct behavior but something to watch for.
i tried with the "Test Profile" feature, which i suppose works. it seems to change the scene devices per profile but doesn't update the SceneMaster devices. Again, interesting but would be good to understand the use case.
finally, a small request: could you please sort the drop-list in "select scene to add" alphabetically? mine is in some non-obvious order and always hard to find the scene i want.
thanks -- i'm running it full time now and will report any issues. this is a fantastic PI which i've built my whole system around so really appreciate that it has ongoing development & support.
