That’s just wrong. It does the same thing with Automations. Then, guess what?! When I tap the Wyze icon to open the app again (yes, I realize it didn’t actually close the app, more like Android’s version of minimize), the app opens back up right where I left off! If this isn’t at least a partial argument for letting users choose their own Home tab, then I don’t know what is.
At the very least, though, if Favorites is the Home that’s being forced on everyone, then going 
through steps we’ve already taken in the app should eventually lead us Home and not bye-bye.
Count me in on this one, too. Last in, last out, last on the list.
As far as the search thing goes, I definitely see the point there, and I wonder if the 
could be squeezed in between the 
and the 
up top and be a global thing in the sense that it would allow a user to search Devices and Automations (especially since Automations still can’t be reordered!). I actually wouldn’t mind seeing a global search option at the bottom of the app, but it’s already five tabs across, so I don’t know where something like that would fit. I say this because I like Firefox for mobile, and it gives me the choice to have the address bar (and thus search) at the bottom, where it’s an easier thumb-tap.
Oh, yeah:
Add some kind of ordering feature to Automations!
Here are some things that have already been suggested for Devices but could also conceivably be added to Automations for sorting/ordering/filtering:
