Groups of devices

A device is used by a person of the household (from 0.7.10, or by several who share it: see Devices shared by several people) or put in a group, never both. Seven default groups cannot be deleted: Wi-Fi and network, NAS and home lab, TVs and consoles, printers, cameras, connected objects (security only by default) and guests (adult by default). Each group has a profile for the sensitive categories. Every ten minutes, a device placed by nobody goes to the default group its name, model, page title or maker points to (internal/classify); a device placed by someone is never moved again. An administrator can make groups of their own: owned by their account, they follow its profile unless given another. A machine found by the network scan can be given a place before it uses Warda. While a machine of the network (or a device not classified yet) is placed nowhere, the group it looks like (its name, model, page title or maker) is proposed next to it (Devices, Network, People, Groups), with a button that puts it there. An empty person or group offers the devices placed nowhere in a list. From 0.8.0 a group can have the restricted mode for connected objects (Restricted mode: off / learning / on on its card): its devices learn together, then keep to the names the group learned; it is suggested on the default groups TVs and consoles, printers, cameras and connected objects.

The box of Warda itself (its own names, asked from the loopback) is put in the group Wi-Fi and network (within ten minutes, also after an upgrade from a version that let it be moved) and stays there, with nobody and never paused; it is shown with its address on the network rather than 127.0.0.1, and its queries are never filtered, whatever the profile of its group or of the devices placed nowhere.
