Device Placement

Placement determines sensing quality. Open Device placement in the dashboard for diagrams and advice on positioning your devices.

Where you put devices matters more than how many you add. The dashboard has a detailed, interactive guide for optimal placement, with diagrams you can follow as you set up a zone. It covers how topology changes coverage, what motion vs presence asks of placement, and how two devices differ from three or more.

How to open the guide

Open Devices → Device placement in the sidebar. You can also open it from a zone: under Devices, click How to place your devices.

After you have placed devices, open the zone and use Signal Visualizer to watch the signal as you walk the space. Change one thing at a time, test it, and keep what works.
