Sites and Areas

What are Sites and Areas?

• A Site is a whole place, such as your house, workplace or storage unit.
• An Area is a room or section inside a Site, such as a kitchen, workshop or loft.
• A Thing can sit directly in a Site or in one of its Areas. Areas are optional.
• Position is a note you type to say exactly where a Thing is, such as "top shelf".

Suggestions when you first set up

During setup, ThingzSafe suggests some Sites and Areas to get you started. The Sites are House, Work, Garage, Barn and Garden. The Areas include Kitchen, Living room, Office, Gym and Main bedroom.

Keep, rename or remove any suggestion, and add your own. Keep at least one Site.

Good to know: If you removed the suggestions and want them back, go to Menu → App → App settings and tap Add suggested sites and areas. Your own Sites and Areas stay as they are.
