FAQ

MS 365

No, the API provided by Microsoft imports all meeting rooms defined in the MS 365 environment. You can use the search or sorting functions to adjust how the rooms are listed in the Portal

No. To ensure a high level of security, we at this point only offer admin login with Microsoft Entra ID, previously Active Directory.

The WorkSpace solution needs access to your Microsoft tenant to retrieve information about booking status of your rooms. For security reasons consent to access your room data, can only be given by appointed Microsoft administrators in your company.

Functions

No, at this point the solution does not provide customized colors

Installation

Use the adhesive tape included in the package to install the Busylight in the best visual overview placement in your office. For rooms typically over the door and for desks near walkways to ensure visibility. For desks, both under, on top of desk or cubicle mounting can be considered.

Yes, you can have up to 3 Busylights per space.

Infrastructure

We use gateways from Tektelic, Kerlink and Browan. All gateways are configured to be used for Busylight Workspaces and ready to deploy.

Yes. In the Portal, under My Tenant, you can customise the LoRaWAN Network Server(LNS) used. Default server is the Plenom TTN instance, but you can change server type, adress, application ID and key to connect to your own infrastructure. Please note that you also configuration in the LNS is required. Please use documentation available for this.

As a rule of thumb, you need 1 gateway per office floor, but it highly depends on placement and construction materials used for the office. In offices with light wall construction, a range of up to 100m is possible, but concrete and brick walls will limit the range.

Easy installation and implementation.
