Feature Request: Limit number of slots per lock
The Schlage FE599 lock only allows 19 slots but the lock-manager app acts like we can use 30 slots, so this could confuse users. It would be helpful if you added a setting to the Lock page that says "Number of slots supported" so I could select "19", and then the app would limit the slot numbers we can select on the New User page and the number of slots shown on the "Lock Info" page.
We have two of these same model, so it's pretty easy to support us. But if someone has multiple models that support different numbers of slots, this could require a pretty big re-write of the code unless you just go with the biggest number.
The way that I wrote available slots is open to a new method that I have yet to write in which will take the lowest available slot count as the enum selection for slot number.
This method is up for contention as B&B and hotel owners also want the ability to assign users to individual lock slots and not global slots in which would take all of slot1 usage for N number of locks (sometimes in the hundreds)
Decision to keep this open to the user and their error was a strategic move by me to avoid some decision making by me in the design of the app. Advice to the user is to 'Read the manual' for locks they purchase albiet less user friendly is fair trade for a free app I spent weeks over years on IMHO.
That being said, this is a feature I want to work on.. though you're right, some considerations have to be made to different user types.
