What
Setting up the WIFI for your Nobi lights is essential for effective fall detection and prevention. You can configure the WIFI on two levels: department and housing unit. All lights will use the WIFI settings from the lowest level specified. To ensure optimal performance of your Nobi lights, it's important to choose the appropriate level for this configuration. Additionally, your Nobi lights need to meet specific internet requirements to function properly.
Why
Proper WIFI setup is crucial to ensure that every light has the best possible internet connection, allowing them to perform optimally. This guarantees that in case of an escalation, you will be promptly notified and can quickly assist the resident in need.
Setting the WIFI
When setting up a network with multiple access points, it’s important to match the correct network to the correct location. Most locations within one group may be best served by one specific network due to proximity. However, some exceptions within the same group might be closer to a different network. In such cases, we assign the different networks to different levels or categories, so each location connects to the network that offers the best performance.
Please note that Nobi does not support WIFI connections that require a captive portal.
Detailed steps
First, we will set up the WIFI for the department. After this, we’ll choose another network for a housing unit:
- Go to Departments in the left menu.
- Find the department and click edit.
- You will land on the basic info tab, here you must first choose your WIFI security type.
- Depending on the type you choose, Nobi will ask you to fill in the requested information below and click save.
Now we will choose another WIFI network for a housing unit
- Go to Housing units in the left menu.
- Choose the housing unit and click edit.
- Again, you will land on the basic info tab, here you must first choose your WIFI security type.
- Fill in the requested information below and click save.
You've now configured the WIFI in both a department and a housing unit.
