Everything your organization decides about its smart devices lives in one place. Open Settings, then Smart Devices. Your organization needs the IoT Devices app, and each room opens with the right that room needs. Someone without a room's right never sees its card.
The Tabs
Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
Overview | How your devices and connections are doing right now, what needs you, and the newest changes to these settings. |
Connections | Device Services (the vendor accounts you linked), Voice Assistants (Alexa and Google Home) and, for organizations that handle health data, Health Devices. |
Places | Sites & Spaces (your buildings and rooms, with the devices and quiet times of each), Device Health (a map of what is offline or low on battery), Floor Plans and Vendor Rooms. |
Access | Grants (who may use which devices), Check Access (what one person can do, and why) and Sharing. |
Alarms | Rules (each with a Test Drive that shows what it would have raised last week), Alarm Templates, Escalation, Routing, Quiet Times and Rule Health. |
Safety & Data | Safety & Notifications, SI (only for organizations with the SI app) and Data & Exports. |

The organization's owner holds all of them.
Recent Changes and Undo
Every room that changes something keeps a list of its recent changes: who changed what, and when. The newest change can be put back with one confirmed click. Shares to people outside your organization only record that a share changed, never who it went to, and a removal (a connection, a space) can't be put back.
Quiet Times for a Space
Open a space in Places › Sites & Spaces to give it quiet times — for example, after hours in an office. While a quiet time is on, alarms from that space and everything inside it are held, not lost.
Alarm Templates
Alarms › Alarm Templates adds a set of starter rules for a kind of space — an office, a server room, a freezer or cold room, a warehouse. They become ordinary rules you can change or remove.
