So:
The Manual Heat controls all do the same thing.

I previewed this last week. The Hall tab now shows a Main Hot Water card with the current schedule:

Programming is straight-forward:

Volume levels of the local music collection have been normalized. This means you should have fewer surprises when the next track plays much louder or softer than the last.
If you played to any of the audio zones and skipped tracks there would be a nasty static-y pop which was not good for the amplifiers. That's now gone.
After a restart of an audio zone the Iris music player would revert to 100% volume, which would be pretty shocking. That's now fixed and the default volume after a restart is 20%.
