Discover what kind of housing units you have to configure in Nobi.

What
In Nobi, there are different types of housing units. Nobi offers the choice between a single person unit, a double person unit, and a Jack & Jill unit. For double-person, and Jack & Jill units, we prioritise privacy by applying the most restrictive user privacy, and housing unit settings.
Why
It is crucial to know what type of housing unit to configure in the app. Certain types have less functionalities than others and are configured differently.
Differentiating the types of housing unit
The illustrations below can help you figure out which type of housing unit you have to configure.
- Single person room: There is just one person living in this housing unit.
- Multi person room: Two residents share 1 bed and all other rooms are shared.
- Semi private room: Two residents share one bedroom in 2 separate beds and all other rooms are shared. If you have this setup, please contact Nobi support to assist you as this has to be configured manually.
- Jack & Jill: Two residents have their private rooms with with one or more shared rooms.
- Common area: A unit which is not linked to an individual resident.
Consequences of the different types of housing unit
Bed related features
As Nobi cannot distinguish between multiple residents in the same space, certain features will not work in multi person rooms. These include bed related monitoring events (resident out of bed, resident on the edge of the bed), night reports, night light, and morning greeting.
Privacy
If two people share (part of) a unit, automatically, the shared parts will follow the privacy settings of the resident with the most restrictive settings. This is because Nobi cannot distinguish between different residents within the same space. For common areas, there is no resident linked and here the following privacy settings will automatically apply: no live view, no escalation images.
