How to Install the Bluetooth Door Lock
Install your Bluetooth door lock safely and correctly, using the right method for your door cylinder.
15 min task
What
The Bluetooth door lock is mounted on the inside of your existing door lock. You don’t need to replace your lock or drill holes. Based on your lock cylinder, you’ll either use a clamp or an adhesive mounting plate.
Why
The Bluetooth door lock helps residents enter and exit independently, while keeping their housing unit secure. A correct installation ensures the lock functions reliably, without damaging the existing cylinder. Choosing the right mounting option also ensures stability, especially with frequent use.

How to Install and Pair the Wired Switching Interface as a Switch
Learn how to wire and pair the wired switching interface (mains) module to control the Nobi light using an existing wall switch.
7 min task
What
A wired switching interface is a smart module powered by the electrical grid. It lets you use a regular wall switch to control the Nobi light without cutting off its power supply.
For a detailed description of other peripherals, go to our Types of peripherals page.
Why
Installing and pairing a wired switching interface module ensures that the connected wall switch can operate the Nobi light without changing how the switch is used. Unlike the relay version, this device is wired into the building’s electrical system.
It gives residents or care staff a reliable and familiar way to use the Nobi light while maintaining full smart functionality. It must be paired via the Nobi app to function correctly.
Pair via the Nobi mobile app
Once installed, pairing the wired switching interface is done through the Nobi mobile app. Pairing is easy. Just follow the wizard to complete the connection. The button should be physically near the light during the process.

How to Place Nobi for Optimal Performance
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.

How to Add Peripherals
In this article, we'll walk you through how to add peripherals.
4 min task
What
Nobi allows for different devices to be connected to the light. We call these peripherals. These peripherals simplify the way you work and/or allow for more insights to be gathered. In order to use these peripherals, they need to be connected via Bluetooth to a light within a housing unit. Some peripherals are applicable to an individual light, while others apply to the entire housing unit.
For a detailed description of the different sorts of peripherals, go to our Types of peripherals page.
Why
It's important to connect each peripheral to the correct light to ensure they work well together. This helps the light know exactly which device to communicate with.
Adding peripherals
Setting up peripherals with Nobi is easy thanks to a wizard that guides you from selecting the appropriate peripheral to pairing it with the light.
Adding a peripheral to a Jack & Jill Housing unit? Please refer to our Jack & Jill page.
Detailed steps
Pairing peripherals
Let’s add a new peripheral to a light. Since the connection is made via bluetooth, make sure to keep the peripheral near the light you want it to connect to. In this example, we’ll connect a Nobi button to the light, which will be used as a snooze button. Do this on the Nobi app on a mobile device as this works best.
Click here to jump to removing a peripheral.- Go to Housing units in the left menu.
- Navigate to the housing unit where you want to add a peripheral and click edit.
- Go to the tab Peripherals.
- Click on the + add.
- A wizard will open which takes you through 3 steps:
- Peripherals type: choose the desired function and the type of the peripheral.
- Choose the function you want the peripheral to have. Let’s choose for Snooze alarm/Close escalation.
- Choose the type of peripheral. We want to connect the Nobi kinetic button which is self-powered.
- You will now have the option to choose the product you want. In this case there is only one option and so it’s already selected.
- Click next when you’re done. Click next to go to the next step in the wizard.
- Link to a room: Choose the room within the housing unit which is the closest to the peripheral you want to add. The light of this light will flash when you click on the room in the app. Click next to go to the last step.
- Nobi will now provide the instructions to pair the peripheral.
- Now follow the instructions on the screen.
- When pairing (and calibrating) is successful, you will return to the peripherals tab with the new peripheral added to the view. At the top of the screen, Nobi will display that the pairing is successfully completed.
You have now successfully added a peripheral to the light.

How to Add a Light to a Room
In this article, you will learn what a “room” is in Nobi, how to set one up, and how to link a light to that room.
10 min task
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.
