What

In Nobi, there are different types of housing units. Nobi offers the choice between a single person unit, a double person unit, and a Jack & Jill unit. For double-person, and Jack & Jill units, we prioritise privacy by applying the most restrictive user privacy, and housing unit settings. 

Why

It is crucial to know what type of housing unit to configure in the app. Certain types have less functionalities than others and are configured differently.

Differentiating the types of housing unit

The illustrations below can help you figure out which type of housing unit you have to configure. 

• Single person room: There is just one person living in this housing unit.
• Multi person room: Two residents share 1 bed and all other rooms are shared.
• Semi private room: Two residents share one bedroom in 2 separate beds and all other rooms are shared. If you have this setup, please contact Nobi support to assist you as this has to be configured manually.
• Jack & Jill: Two residents have their private rooms with a shared bathroom.

Consequences of the different types of housing unit

As Nobi cannot see the difference between multiple stick figures, certain features will not work in multi person rooms. These include bed related monitoring events (resident out of bed, resident on the edge of the bed), sleep reports, night light, and morning greeting.
