Room Configuration and Sensor Mapping
Room Configuration defines how Asset Intelligence understands the environment of each room.
This is where you connect real sensors to environment categories so the system can evaluate conditions accurately.
Each room (Home Assistant Area) can be configured with sensors that represent:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Light (Lux / UV)
- Air Quality
- Safety conditions
- Structural conditions
- Contextual measurements
Asset Intelligence does not guess which sensors to use.
You must explicitly define:
👉 Which sensor represents each measurement for the room
If sensors are not assigned:
- Values will show as missing (—)
- Risk calculations may be incomplete
- Advisory messages may include warnings such as:
- "No room light data available"
- "No room UV data available"
Your room can include sensors across the following groups:
- Temperature
- Humidity
- Dew Point
- Lux
- UV
- VOC
- Formaldehyde
- Ozone
- NO₂
- PM2.5
- PM10
- Mold Index
- Leak detection
- Pressure
- Vibration
- Noise (dB)
- CO₂
- Window positions (e.g., North, East)
This enables:
- Sun exposure modeling
- Directional analysis
- Exposure risk calculations
- Navigate to Asset Intelligence
- Select a room (Area)
- Open configuration (gear icon)
- Assign sensors for each category
When assigning sensors:
- Choose entities from Home Assistant
- Ensure they represent the correct room
- Confirm units match expected values
Room: Den
- Temperature →
sensor.den_temperature - Humidity →
sensor.den_humidity - CO₂ →
sensor.office_co2 - Noise →
sensor.den_noise
Once configured, the room view will display:
- Current values for each measurement
- Grouped by category
- Timestamp of last update
You may see:
- Temperature: 69.4 °F
- Humidity: 46.5 %
- CO₂: 1241 ppm
- Mold Index: 100
Missing values will appear as:
— (not configured or no data available)
Sensor values are compared against defined limits (see: Setting Environment Limits).
This drives:
- Risk state (Green / Yellow / Red)
- Advisory messages
- Exposure analysis
✅ Use one primary sensor per measurement
✅ Avoid mixing sensors from different rooms
✅ Ensure consistent naming in Home Assistant
✅ Configure all relevant categories for sensitive environments
✅ Add Light and UV if exposure risk matters
- Confirm sensor is assigned
- Verify entity is reporting data in Home Assistant
- Check unit compatibility
- Verify the correct sensor is selected
- Ensure sensor location matches the room
- Add missing sensors (especially Light and CO₂)
- Configure environment limits
Room configuration is where your home becomes measurable—and measurable is what makes intelligence possible.
