What

In the Nobi application, a housing unit is where a resident lives. It can be just one room or several rooms together. For instance, a resident might live in an area with a bedroom, bathroom, and living room. All these rooms together make up one housing unit. To set up the lights for these different rooms, we first need to create a housing unit that will include all these rooms.

Why

Adding a housing unit is necessary in order to add the lights for this resident. By creating different housing units, you create an organized structure within your organization.

Adding a new housing unit

3. Choose the type of housing unit.

4. Give the housing unit a name.
   
5. Assign the department the housing unit will be part of.
   
6. Optional, set up the wifi for this housing unit. If you leave this empty, Nobi will default to the wifi at the department level.
7. When you’re done, click Save.
   
8. A green banner will confirm the creation of the housing unit.
   
    

You have now created a new housing unit.
