yep... stick w original version (gen 1)
just tried the newer version and while some of the views are prettier, it totally breaks and/or complicates the most useful features of the original. scenes are incredibly useful in gen 1 and horribly implemented in the newest version... should probably be rooms, scenes, and routines and all future versions should offer more flexibility not introduce new constraints while breaking existing conventions the most have use have come to rely on.
