As your smart home grows, it can be helpful to organize devices by their location. The Places feature in CommandIQ allows you to create virtual spaces like the living room or office to keep everything tidy and easy to manage.
Step 1: Access the Places Feature
From the main dashboard of your CommandIQ app, tap on the Places tile. Here you’ll see a list of any existing locations.
Step 2: Create a New Place
Tap the Add Place button. Give the new place a descriptive name, such as “Kitchen” or “Upstairs Bedroom,” and choose an icon or photo to represent it.
Step 3: Assign Devices and People
Once the place is created, tap on it. You can now assign both devices and people to this location. Select all the devices that are physically located in that place, and assign the people who primarily use devices in that area.
Step 4: Manage Your Network by Place
Now you can manage devices and users in a more intuitive way. For example, you can easily view all the devices in the “Living Room” or set a rule for all devices in the “Kids’ Playroom” at once.
