New Release:

We’ve introduced a Calibrated Occupancy option that enhances the accuracy of traffic-based occupancy data across your spaces.

How to Use It

Developers can now enable calibrated:true by adding in as filter in Reporting API calls to relevant traffic-based endpoints.

What It Does

Over time, miscounts from entry and exit sensors can build up, especially in busy areas with multiple entrances. This can lead to:

  • Occupancy appears to drop to zero too early

  • Spaces showing as occupied even after everyone has left

This new calibrated model helps correct for these discrepancies, delivering occupancy counts that more closely reflect real-world usage patterns.

Key Benefits

  • More accurate traffic-based occupancy trends

  • Improved reliability in areas with complex traffic flows

  • Better alignment with actual space usage throughout the day

New Release:

We’ve introduced new metadata fields to our webhook messages to provide additional customer-specific context. These fields allow for better mapping of data to customer-defined locations.

Added Fields:

  • floor_custom_id → Customer’s unique floor identifier

  • room_custom_id → Customer’s unique room identifier

  • zone_custom_id → Customer’s unique zone identifier

Impact:

  • No breaking changes.

  • Existing webhook message structure remains unchanged, ensuring backward compatibility.

  • Clients can now utilize these additional fields to enhance data integration.

New Features Released:

  • Real-Time Occupancy Webhook: Receive instant updates on occupancy changes for seamless integration and automation.

  • Tag Management: Assign one or more tags to floor, room, and zone assets, enabling better organization and categorization of spaces.

  • Tag-Based Occupancy Queries: Query presence-based occupancy data for floors, rooms, and zones by tag, providing powerful insights tailored to specific categories or use cases.
