Matterport method
By selecting Matterport you will begin space creation based on the Matterport scan.
If you already have a Stages project set up, it is recommended to use the STAGES METHOD
The process is the same for all Providers SIM-ON works with. For the presentation purposes, we will be using Fibaro (NICE) and present the whole process of adding a new space with importing devices, setting sweeps to rooms and adding and renaming the devices for the space
Importing rooms
If you do not have a smart home system that we support, or any smart system at this time, use the Custom room creation
Selecting the Import rooms option will open a SMARTHOME provider selection window, where you will be asked to choose a provider. We will be using Fibaro as our provider.
Currently supported providers are:
KNX - project setup
SmartThings - project setup
NICE (Fibaro) - project setup
NETX - project setup
After selecting your smarthome provider and logging into your account you will see a list of available rooms to choose from for an automatic import.
At least a single room has to be selected to proceed
After completing your choice of rooms you will be prompted to provide a link to the Matterport virtual tour scan.
If the link to your scan is private, you will need to log in into your Matterport account
Lastly you will be asked to check if everything is correct and you can start working on your project.
Custom rooms
Custom rooms do not require any smart system, so if you plan to add one in the future, this option will work best for you
The option of custom room creation is the most suitable for clean slate space creation.
Now you will have to create rooms for the scene.
At least a single room has to be created to proceed
After creating your choice of rooms, you will be prompted to provide a link to the Matterport virtual tour scan.
If the link to your scan is private, you will need to log in into your Matterport account.
After clicking next, the last step is to check if everything is correct. If so, click confirm and you can start working on your scene: adding sweeps to rooms, assets, tickets and events or devices in the future.
