Zones

You can use Butlr's GraphQL API to create, update, and retrieve information about zones.

A zone is a designated subsection within a room or floor, it is used to segment larger areas for more granular monitoring. Zones may represent specific areas like seating sections, workstations, or entry points.

This page provides guidance on how to retrieve, create, and update zone information within a floor, enabling precise management of zone-specific data.
