What
Nobi allows for different devices to be connected to the light. These devices—called peripherals—support daily care and help gather insights. Sometimes it is needed to remove a peripheral, by unpairing it with a light.
For a detailed description of the different types of peripherals, go to our Types of peripherals page.
Why
When a peripheral is no longer used—because the workflow has changed, the device has been moved, or it's being replaced—it’s important to remove it from the Nobi light it was originally paired with. This ensures the light doesn't try to communicate with an inactive or incorrect device.
Removing a peripheral that’s no longer in use helps keep your Nobi system clean and accurate. It avoids confusion, prevents pairing conflicts, and ensures each light only communicates with the devices that are still relevant. Always remove peripherals before replacing or relocating them.
