Space Management

Overview

In smart home systems, space management is the foundation for efficient device organization and intelligent connections. By dividing and configuring spaces properly, you can accurately reflect the real physical environment. This also greatly improves the efficiency of device management and enhances the user experience.

In Aqara Studio, you can define your home structure flexibly, set up different space areas, and link smart devices as needed. This creates a solid foundation for advanced functions such as automation, data analysis, and permission management. Good space management helps you build a smarter, more convenient, and safer living or office environment.

Create a Space

When you enter the Space page from the left sidebar, you will see that Aqara Studio provides space templates. You can quickly create a preset space layout by choosing a template, or customize the space structure to fit your needs.

Use a Template

1. Choose a template that fits your home.
2. In the Template drawer, check the real areas in your home (such as living room, bedroom).
3. Click Create and the space structure will be created automatically.
4. In Space, click any space to configure its parameters.

Customize a Space

1. Select Custom Space.
2. In the Custom Space drawer, Aqara Studio will automatically add a parent space (New Item). You can configure its parameters directly.
3. To add a sub-space, select the parent space and click the + button.
4. After finishing all space settings, click Create and your custom space structure will be set up.

Here’s how to link devices:

1. Click a space, then in its Space Details, click the + button.
2. In the pop-up window, check one or more target devices and click Confirm.
   tip

   If you haven't added the required devices yet, click Add new device in the pop-up. The system will automatically switch to the Devices page. You can refer to the Device Integration docs and add devices before linking them.

3. Now the Device Num in the Space Details will update. The Device Num of the parent space will also get updated.
4. Go to Devices from the left sidebar. Open the Basic Information of the linked device. You can see its space information has been updated. If you want to change the linked space, click the edit icon in this section.
