Rooms, A place for each device

A Green-GO room defines what users or devices are considered to be in the same physical place. With the Room dim property attenuation on the speaker outputs of devices in the same room can be set. Assigning Users and Devices a room can also be very usefully to easy check and monitor groups of devices, their input levels and status are combined to a single entry.

Rooms Overview

The Rooms view displays a list of all created rooms with details on their status and the input levels of the room members. Multiple rooms can be selected and edited simultaneously. The list of rooms can be sorted or filtered by any of the available columns, making it easier to search through a large number of groups.
