This guide explains how to install a Nobi Bridge or Nobi Bridge Duo and connect an existing wired tool to it.
5 min task
Installing the Nobi Bridge means mounting it on the wall and plugging the wired tool into it. The Bridge can be mounted with the adhesive backing on the back of the device, or with screws through the screw holes, so no wiring and no drilling into the tool itself is needed.
A Nobi Bridge takes one wired tool. A Nobi Bridge Duo takes two, using a stereo channel splitter (3.5 mm TRS to dual TS). You can check the label on the back of the device to see which one you have.
Where you mount the Bridge decides how well it works. It has to sit in the same room as the Nobi light for the Bluetooth signal, and close enough to the wired tool that the cable reaches without being stretched or in the way.
Mounting it properly the first time also means it stays put. A Bridge that comes loose or gets knocked off the wall can pull the cable out of the jack, and the tool then stops triggering Nobi.
Follow the steps below to mount the Nobi Bridge and connect a wired call cord, pressure mat, call button, head switch, or other existing tool to it.
The Nobi Bridge is now installed. To make it work with Nobi, follow our guide on how to pair the Nobi Bridge.

This article covers the physical installation of the Nobi Gateway, so it's ready for onboarding.
5 min task
The Nobi Gateway is a Nobi device installed in common areas that don't have a Nobi light. It receives and sends escalation signals from badges and resident wearable call buttons, so assistance calls and resident calls can be escalated even when a Nobi light isn't nearby. Before it can be onboarded, it needs to be unboxed and prepared for setup. It can also be mounted to a wall, if needed.
Nobi recommends installing the gateway with a powered ethernet (POE) cable, which supplies both power and internet through a single cable.
If more than one gateway is needed in the same area, a second gateway can be powered and connected from the first. This is called daisy chaining, and the steps are at the end of this article.
Before a Nobi Gateway can be onboarded, it must have the antenna attached and have access to electricity and internet.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following:
Additional ethernet cables, if you are daisy chaining multiple Nobi Gateways
If the LED isn't blinking blue and green, check the power connection and, for ethernet setups, confirm the cable is fully inserted into the POE in port and, if daisy chained, into the POE out port on the gateway before it.
Now you are ready to set up a common area housing unit for gateways and onboard the Nobi Gateway.

This article explains how to install a Nobi Bridge or Nobi Bridge Duo and pair it to a Nobi light, so an existing wired tool can trigger Nobi.
5 min task
The Nobi Bridge is a small, battery-powered peripheral that lets you connect a wired tool, such as a call cord, a pressure mat, a call button, or a head switch, to a Nobi light using Bluetooth.
It comes in two versions:
You can check the label on the back of the device to see which one you have.
When you pair a Nobi Bridge, you choose what it should do: turn the Nobi light on or off, detect sensor input (for example a mat or a call button), or start a resident call.
Care staff may already be using tools, such as wired call cords, mats, and buttons that are attached to a resident's bed for fall detection. The Nobi Bridge connects these existing tools to Nobi as peripherals, allowing staff to build on already smart care.
Follow the steps below to connect an existing tool to a Nobi Bridge, and pair the Bridge as a peripheral.
You have now paired the Nobi Bridge to Nobi. You can also read about other peripherals to use with the Nobi light and how to maintain the Nobi Bridge.

In this article, you will learn how to onboard a Nobi Gateway into an area.
5 min task
A Gateway can receive signals from Badges or Wearable Call Buttons and begin the escalation procedure, just like a Nobi light. Gateways are set up in common areas, such as hallways, lounges, or spaces outside resident housing units, and send these signals to Nobi Cloud when an escalation is triggered. The Nobi Gateway doesn't include fall detection, image or video capture, pose analysis, or two-way audio. Those features are only available on the Nobi light.
A Gateway is added as an area within a common area housing unit and paired over Bluetooth using the Nobi mobile app. While pairing, you connect it to your network, either Ethernet or WIFI, to reach Nobi Cloud.
Adding a Gateway to a common area provides additional Nobi coverage in areas and housing units where a Nobi light isn't needed. This allows care staff to use their Badges or residents to use their Wearable Call Buttons to trigger escalations in common areas where Nobi lights are not installed.
Follow the steps below to onboard the Nobi Gateway.
You have now onboarded a Nobi Gateway into the housing unit.

Learn how to assign a wearable call button to a resident.
2 min task
The wearable call button is a small, portable button. A resident can carry it or wear it on the body by putting it inside a wristband or pendant. When the resident presses the button, a call request is sent through the nearest Nobi light or Gateway.
Pairing the wearable call button allows residents to call for help from anywhere nearby a Nobi light or Gateway.
Because the call can go through any Nobi light or Gateway, residents can ask for help:
in shared spaces,
in another housing unit,
on behalf of someone else, and
in areas where Nobi lights aren't installed, but Gateways are.
Follow the steps below to pair a wearable call button to a resident.
You have now paired the wearable call button to the resident. You can see the recently paired button it in the Wearable Call Button tab.
For more information on the wearable call button, read our discover article here.

In this guide you will learn how to install the Nobi Button (self-powered).
1 min task
The self-powered Nobi button has many uses when paired with the Nobi Smart Light. It lets you control the Nobi light just like a traditional wall switch, send a call request, snooze Nobi's fall detection, or close an open escalation with just one press.
Installing the Nobi Button (self-powered) is quick and easy, and allows you to place the button wherever you find the most effective. No wiring or no tools are necessary.
That's it! The Nobi button is now installed.

Install your Bluetooth door lock safely and correctly, using the right method for your door cylinder.
15 min task
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.
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.
First, check the overhang of your door cylinder on the inside.
If the cylinder extends at least 3 mm past the door surface: use the clamp-on mounting plate (Version A).
If the cylinder is flush or has less than 3 mm overhang: use the stick-on mounting plate (Version B).
Use this method if your cylinder has 3 mm or more overhang on the inside.
Use this method if your cylinder has less than 3 mm overhang on the inside.
You have now installed your Bluetooth door lock.

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
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.
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.
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.
Adding a peripheral to a Jack & Jill Housing unit? Please refer to our Jack & Jill page.
Pairing the wired switching interface relay instead? Consult the guide for pairing it here.
Follow the step-by-step instructions in the video below for pairing and installing the wired switching interface as a switch.

Learn where to install Nobi and Nobita lights for complete room coverage and accurate detection.
5 minute task
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.
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
You have now successfully created a room and added a light to that room. The light will be in Setup mode.
