Layouts


Overview

The Layouts page provides a visual map-based representation of your Savee device network. Devices are placed on floor plans or geographic maps, allowing you to monitor their status and control them directly from the interface without needing to navigate through lists.

If no floor plans have been configured yet, the page will display a prompt to add one by navigating to the Floor plans section.

Once floor plans are added, the layout displays device icons positioned on the map. You can interact with devices directly from this view.

Controls Mode

In Controls mode (default), each device icon on the map represents a single device. Clicking an icon allows you to toggle it on or off, adjust its output level, or view its current readings depending on the device type.

Groups Mode

Switching to Groups mode at the bottom of the screen changes the view to show device groups instead of individual devices. Group icons display the number of devices they contain. Clicking a group icon lets you control all devices within that group at once, which is useful for managing large areas or sections of a building efficiently.

Editing the Layout

To modify the arrangement of devices or groups on the layout, click the pencil icon in the bottom-right corner of the screen to enter edit mode. In edit mode you can:

  • Add devices or groups by selecting them from the panel and placing them on the map.
  • Move existing icons by dragging them to a new position.
  • Delete devices or groups by selecting an icon and choosing the delete option.

Tip

The default layout view can be customized per user by an administrator. Navigate to Users, select the desired user, and adjust the preferred floor plan under the Default view setting.
