Learn what the greeting in the Nobi application is all about and how to activate it for a resident.

What
Once activated, the greeting feature delivers a once daily message to the resident through the light. It starts the morning with a "Good morning" greeting and provides a short weather forecast. On special occasions, the light also wishes the resident a happy new year or happy birthday.
The morning greeting does not play at a fixed time. After 5:30 AM, Nobi waits until the resident has been in the room and out of bed for three minutes without interruption. This ensures the greeting never wakes the resident up. Nobi only greets the resident once they are awake and out of bed.
The voice of the greeting cannot be changed and is determined by the resident's language settings.
Why
The greeting feature offers daily routine and helps the resident get used to the light's voice. This way, if there's a fall, the resident won’t be startled by the light asking about the fall. Since some people might prefer not to have the light talk, the greeting feature is turned off as a default setting.
It’s a good idea to set this up in the living room, so early bathroom visits don’t trigger the greeting.
Activating the greeting
Activating the greeting is simple and is done within the Housing unit settings of the resident.
Note that you can only activate this feature if you’ve allowed the light to speak when a fall is detected. Unsure if you’ve allowed this? Find out using the guide Sound Settings. If you haven’t allowed this, Nobi has no voice and won’t be able to greet the resident.
You can also have an overview of your residents' Housing unit settings via the Resident Insights.
