What
With the Nobi application, residents are linked to housing units. This enables fall detection, communication, and personalized settings.
In a multi-person housing unit with two single beds, you link the resident to a bed, not to the whole housing unit.
Why
Each resident needs to be linked to the housing unit they live in. Without this link, Nobi doesn’t know who is living in the housing unit. By linking a resident to a housing unit, you ensure that all data, insights, and smart functions are assigned to the right person in the right place.
Detailed steps
- Go to Residents in the left menu.
- Navigate to the resident you want to assign to a housing unit and click on the pencil icon.
- Click on the tab Housing unit settings.
- Use the drop-down menu next to Housing units to select which housing unit you want to assign the resident to. Each housing unit will show the available occupancy next to the housing unit name.
Note: residents cannot be linked to common areas. - Click Save.
- Nobi will display a message at the top confirming that the resident was linked to the housing unit.
You have now linked a resident to a housing unit.
Two single beds
For a multi-person housing unit with two single beds, the drop-down menu shows each bed as a separate option, for example Room 12 - Bed A (0/1). (0/1) means the bed is free. (1/1) means a resident is already linked to the bed.
- Choose the bed the resident sleeps in.
- If you choose a bed that is already taken, Nobi asks if you want to replace the current resident. If you confirm, the current resident is removed from that bed. Link that resident to another bed or housing unit afterwards.
