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.

- Give the housing unit a name.
- Assign the department the housing unit will be part of.
- Optional, set up the wifi for this housing unit. If you leave this empty, Nobi will default to the wifi at the department level.

- A green banner will confirm the creation of the housing unit.
You have now created a new housing unit.
