Add Accessories & Organise Your Floorplan

​

Intro

Your Zendo floorplan is flexible and yours to personalise. Configure it how you like. Here are some tips you might find helpful:

• Add accessories to the floorplan to control lights, thermostats, fans, blinds, curtains, and more.
• Less is more. Keeping only essential accessories on the floorplan makes it easier to find and control what you need.
• Use Home Assistant/Homey automations, scenes, and groups. Grouping accessories reduces visual clutter and simplifies control.
• An accessory doesn’t have to be on the floorplan at all. Anything you leave off it is still there in the Tiles view, which lists every accessory on a floor grouped by room.

There’s more on all of these in Keep your Zendo Tidy.

​

Room accessories

Each room on the Zendo floorplan can have room accessories to control the entire room. Examples:

• Add a light accessory that controls all the lights in the room.
• Add a thermostat, aircon unit, or TRV for each room that has one.
• Add a fan if the room has a ceiling fan or a single fan for the room.
• Add a presence sensor for each room that has a motion, presence, or occupancy sensor.
• Add smoke, CO, gas or water leak sensors for each room that has safety sensors.

​

Other accessories

You can add any other accessory to the floorplan, such as:

• Place each blind, curtain, or roller shutter next to the window or door where it’s installed.
• Add a light accessory for task lighting like reading lights, a desk light, or a bedside light.
• Add on/off accessories like hairdryers, coffee makers, electric vehicle chargers, or turntables near their location in the room.
• Place each smart door lock next to the door where it’s installed.
• Place each door or window sensor next to the door or window where it’s installed.
• Place each robot vacuum near its dock location.
• Add a humidifier or dehumidifier near the device’s location in the room.
• Add Christmas trees or other festive decorations near their spot in the room.
• Place garage doors and electric gates near where they’re installed.
• Place each EV charger at the location where it’s installed.
