Keep your devices organized by assigning them to rooms and sections of your home. This will give you a clear view of your smart home in the WEB UI and on your mobile app.

Rooms and Sections are used to organize devices to reflect their location within your home. Sections represent bigger areas in your house (e.g. floors) and rooms represent specific rooms and smaller spaces (e.g. living room, hallway). Rooms can be assigned to sections and devices can be assigned to rooms.

By default, your system comes with one default section and room that you can rename anytime.
