What
In Nobi, a "room" refers to a specific space within a housing unit. For example, a housing unit may include a bedroom, a living room, and a bathroom—each of these is considered a separate "room" in the Nobi system.
A Nobi light must be linked to a room to function properly. Setting up rooms within a housing unit helps keep your system organised and ensures that each light is correctly identified and managed.
Why
In the Nobi application, every light is paired with a room. You only need to create a room if you plan to add a light to it.
The setup process uses Bluetooth, so we strongly recommend completing this setup via the Nobi App on a mobile device. It is essential to be physically present in the room where the light is installed to ensure a proper Bluetooth connection.
Detailed steps
To create a room and add a light, follow the detailed steps below.
Before you begin you will need the following:
A mobile device with bluetooth enabled
The Nobi Mobile App
a WIFI connection
a user with role of manager or technician
a site / community with at least one department and one housing unit
an installed Nobi or Nobita light
- From the home screen, press the three lines in the top left corner of the Nobi Mobile App to access the navigation menu.
- Press Housing units.
- Choose the housing you wish to add a room and light to by pressing Edit.
- Navigate to the Rooms tab.
- Press the + ADD to add a new room and light.
- Select the room type from the dropdown menu and optionally give the room an identifying name. For more information on room types and their consequences, click here.
- Press ✔ Link the light.
- Press Start link.
- Choose the Nobi light you wish to add. Typically, if standing directly under the light, it will be the available light with the strongest bluetooth signal.
- The light will begin to pair.
- Nobi will then verify that the light is successfully connected with an audio message and a green banner on the app.
You have now successfully created a room and added a light to that room. The light will be in Setup mode.
