Learn where to install Nobi and Nobita lights for complete room coverage and accurate detection.
5 minute task
What
Nobi lights are designed for bedrooms, living areas, and other common areas. Nobita lights are made for bathrooms, withstanding high humidity and temperature. Together, they ensure every part of a resident’s unit is monitored.
Why
Correct placement of the Nobi(ta) Smart Lights ensures full coverage of the resident’s living space, avoiding blind spots and ensuring timely fall detection. Bedrooms, for example, need clear coverage of the bed for accurate in/out-of-bed detection, for this a Nobi is needed. On the other hand, bathrooms are high-risk areas for falls, so Nobita placement there is essential. When all areas are covered, Nobi’s safety features work optimally, giving peace of mind to caregivers and residents.
Detailed steps
Follow these steps to place each Nobi and Nobita correctly for maximum coverage and reliability.
Before installation, confirm the Nobi in the resident's living space and the Nobita in the bathroom have overlapping or adjacent coverage areas, leaving no blind spots between rooms.
Using floor plans can be a helpful tool when it comes to confirm all areas — including ensuite bathrooms — are within detection range.
For best results, position each light so its sensors have a clear, unobstructed view of the key activity areas. Avoid placing lights behind beams, tall furniture, or decorative fixtures.
Bedroom
Identify the bed’s location on the floor plan.
Install the Nobi light on the ceiling above the main walking space, ensuring the bed is fully visible in the coverage area. For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to install the Nobi Smart Light at a sensor height (=height of the black dot on the light) ranging between 6.89 feet and 7.55 feet. This installation height ensures that Nobi’s artificial intelligence operates at its best.
Avoid placing the light directly above wardrobes, large furniture, or areas blocked by room dividers.
Bathroom (ensuite or separate)
Select the Nobita light model for bathrooms.
Install it on the ceiling, covering the shower, toilet, and sink areas. For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to install the Nobi Smart Light at a sensor height (=height of the black dot on the light) ranging between 6.89 feet and 7.55 feet. This installation height ensures that Nobi’s artificial intelligence operates at its best.
Position it away from direct water spray but within full view of the main floor space.
