How to Add a Light to a Room

What

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 organized and ensures that each light is correctly identified and managed.

Why

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.

Detailed steps

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

From the home screen, press the three lines in the top left corner of the Nobi Mobile App to access the navigation menu.
Press Housing units.
Choose the housing you wish to add a room and light to by pressing Edit.
Navigate to the Rooms tab.
Press the + ADD to add a new room and light.
Select the room type from the dropdown menu and optionally give the room an identifying name. For more information on room types and their consequences, click here.
Press ✔ Link the light.
Press Start link.
Choose the Nobi light you wish to add. Typically, if standing directly under the light, it will be the available light with the strongest bluetooth signal.
The light will begin to pair.
Nobi will then verify that the light is successfully connected with an audio message and a green banner on the app.
