I believe a fully functional demonstration of the proposal is possible
if one is OK with granting permission to all the devices first.

I also believe that the fully functional demonstration will demonstrate
that the UI for such a function will not be satisfactory for either the

change upon new facts!

I'm happy to reconsider this proposal as an extension after gUM is finished.
