At a high level, network traffic is relatively lightweight. As a general estimate, you can expect approximately 1KB per minute per Area of Interest (AoI), depending on configuration and use case.A Quick Overview:MetricTypical MessageConservative Estimate (Recommended)Size per Message~250 Bytes~1,000 Bytes (1 KB)Usage per Hour~15 KB60 KBUsage per Day~360 KB1.44 MBUsage per Month~10.8 MB43.2 MBA few further points to help provide context...Data transmission varies depending on the type of data being captured (e.g. simple counts vs. more detailed positional data such as XY coordinates).Traffic is calculated per AoI rather than per sensor, meaning a desk-level deployment (with more granular tracking) will typically generate more data than a meeting room setup.Stitching or higher-resolution use cases (e.g. frequent XY updates) will result in slightly higher traffic volumes.During initial deployment and commissioning, network activity may be temporarily higher due to configuration, validation, and testing processes.Firmware updates occur infrequently (typically 1–2 times per year) and will generate higher traffic during those periods, but these are planned and coordinated in advance.Outside of these scenarios, sensors operate with consistent, low-bandwidth communication.In practice, message sizes can be smaller (circa 250 bytes), but we recommend using the ~1KB per minute per AoI estimate as a conservative baseline for planning purposes.

GoBright updated their hygienic mode feature.This was first introduced during COVID-19, and, if enabled, it requires a desk to be cleaned after every use. The Connect & Glow would turn purple until a card was swiped or if the desk was updated in the portal.However, it is now possible to highlight the desk as required to be cleaned at the end of every day instead of after every check-in. This is configured in the profile attached to the desk.Head to Settings > Work > Profiles and select the profile linked to the desk(s) you wish to enable this for.You can configure your profile from here, depending on your preferences. Here is an example of setting the desk as required to be cleaned at 5pm every day:Please note: If this feature is enabled, the Connect will not turn off outside of office hours until it has been marked as clean.This feature is also supported for the Interact.

You must be an admin to perform this action as access to the settings is required. If you do not have access, please speak to your GoBright Administrator.The GoBright App must be installed on your phone and you must be logged in as an Administrator.To reset the GoBright Interact device, log in to the GoBright portal and head to Settings > Devices > Interacts.Delete the device (step 3 above).The device will then show as offline:Place your finger on the 'Offline' section and swipe down to bring up the following:Select recommission and then confirm you wish to recommissionThe Interact will rebootYou are then presented with a QR code that needs to be scanned.You now need the GoBright App. Load the App and click on the 3 horizontal lines in the top right to bring up the settings menuSelect Admin toolsSelect GoBright InteractsSelect 'Commission an Interact by QR code'Select your commissioning presetScan the QR code on your phone that is logged in with an admin accountComplete the next page and make sure the Interact is coupled to the correct room / desk / parking spaceSelect 'Commission Device'After approximately 30 seconds the device will reboot.If your device is stuck on 'Connecting MQTT over TLS' please ensure that the following firewall rules have been applied:Outbound 8883 - Traffic over MQTT over TLS to the GoBright platformThe full firewall configuration can be found here:https://support.gobright.com/hc/en-us/articles/360010024559-Firewall-configuration

Wi-Fi signal strength is measured in dBm, with values usually ranging from -30 dBm to -90 dBm. A value closer to 0 (e.g. -50 dBm) indicates a stronger, faster connection, while lower numbers (e.g. -80 dBm) indicates a weaker, slower, or unstable connection. -50 dBm to -60 dBm (Excellent/Good)-60 dBm to -70 dBm (Fair)-70 dBm to -80 dBm (Weak)-80 dBm to -90 dBm (Unusable)Walls and electronic interference will significantly drop the dBm value in your environment. Finding your dBm level on an InteractPress and hold the time in the top-right for a few secondsSelect open device infoHere you have 4 options on the left hand side.

There is a signal indicator that will fluctuate in real-time. Values between -50 dBm and -65 dBm are good.Important: Interacts operate on the 2.4 Ghz spectrum. 5 Ghz is not supported.Still having issues? Check out our on site install guide here.

When commissioning Interacts on site, these can only be commissioned via the GoBright App. Here's your initial quick checklist:✅ An Interact ✅ An admin account for the GoBright Portal ✅ A smartphone with the latest GoBright mobile app, logged in as an admin✅ An Interact profile (this is done the on portal)✅ If the devices sit behind a firewall, please ensure MQTT over TLS has been correctly configured.Please note: When using Wi-Fi:✅ 2.4 Ghz (supported)❌️ 5 Ghz (not supported)Now that all of the above are in place, please follow steps 1 to 3 on this article.Related Article:Hard-reset a GoBright Interact The full firewall rules can be found here.
