This relates to how sensor data is collected and provided to Control Hub (such as temperature, humidity, air quality). When the device is located outside the room, the sensor data is not mixed with the sensor data from inside the room.

Room information

The Room Navigator shows information on room temperature, people count, and people presence in the room, if that is available from the device it's connected to.

The following configurations are enabled by default. You can disable or re-enable them from device configurations or xAPI. Read more about Device configurations.

  • Room temperature:
    UserInterface RoomScheduler AmbientTemperature Show:
      <Auto/Hidden>
  • People count in the room:
    UserInterface RoomScheduler PeopleCount Current:
      <Auto/Hidden>
    • To show people count, you must set:
      RoomAnalytics PeopleCountOutOfCall: On
      Standby WakeupOnMotionDetection: On
  • People presence in the room:
    UserInterface RoomScheduler StatusWhenInUse:
      <Auto/Free>
    • To show people presence, you must set: 
      RoomAnalytics PeoplePresenceDetector:
    <On/Off>

To read more about sensors and which devices support these configurations, see Historical data for Webex Rooms workspaces.

Factory reset

You might need to perform a factory reset in order to pair the Room Navigator with a different room device or to configure it as a controller. You can factory reset the touch controller from the Settings menu.

To access the Settings menu on a Room Navigator in room booking mode, tap the screen three times with three fingers.

When you tap Factory Reset, you'll be asked to confirm your selection before the Room Navigator is restored to factory settings.
