Probably not very original but I'd love USB-C or Bluetooth programming paired with an app. These click sequences are getting out of hand.

Lololol. Getting carpal tunnel just from changing modes on a convoy.

This is such an excellent idea! USB-C programming would be so cool!I would want to be an easy visual interface for programming for sure. Even something simple like boxes where you specify number of clicks/holds and the actions that they perform.

Didn't 4sevens make some Bluetooth controlled lights (or maybe prototypes) back in the day? Bluetooth control doesn't seem super ideal for my purposes, but programming over Bluetooth would be awesome.

+1 on USB-C interface for programming and settings, plus app.

Agreed, but only if they use a proprietary hard or software that they eventually drop support for
