1) Tapping the + icon at the top right of the Home page should provide options to add devices, rooms, scenes, or automation events. (Instead of needing to tap the 3 dots next to rooms to add a room.). One plus sign to add "anything".
2) Why are scenes part of the Library tab? Of the 4 tabs (Home, Library, Automation, and Settings) it feels like they belong in Automation. Or maybe Scenes could even replace the Library tab entirely.
I suspect most users navigate to their room/light instinctively and then apply the static and dynamic functions from within.
3) I just can't get over how much wasted space there is throughout this app. Especially on the home page. I don't need to be welcomed to the app - I need quick access to as many rooms or devices as I can get without needing to scroll.
Give us a concise way to switch between Homes, access user information and alerts - similar to how UniFi has approached it.

"Press and hold" on a Room on the Home tab should pop out controls for devices in that room instead of pulling up a small menu at the bottom to access Settings for the room (which in itself is difficult to dismiss without invoking iOS reachability).

Navigate to Settings, Accessories, select a motion detector.
More wasted space. I don't understand the value in declaring the name of the sensor at the top of the view in big bold letters when directly underneath I'm informed of (again), and can edit the name.
Even more odd about this page is that the Settings and Targets view scrolls inside of the main body. The whole page scrolls up and down only to collapse the empty space at the top slightly, but to view the entirety of the settings for the sensor you have to specifically scroll inside the "Motion sensor settings" pane. Feels incredibly clunky.
The screen has enough real estate to display all relevant settings for the sensor at a single glance if organized properly.

More wasted space!
