Connection & mount

For devices that can be wired or wireless (hubs, PoE cameras, mains-powered nodes), choose Wireless or Wired in the properties panel. This affects the mesh analysis — wired devices act as fixed backhaul.

Set how a device is mounted so it appears in the right place in 3D:

  • In-ceiling — flush in the ceiling (downlights, ceiling sensors, in-ceiling speakers).
  • On wall / In wall — at wall height (switches, thermostats, cameras).
  • On table — at desk/table height.

Leave it on Auto to use a sensible default for the device’s category. The mount only changes the 3D representation; it doesn’t affect coverage.

To place a device at an exact height — a camera at 2.2 m, a sensor under a bench — set Height above floor under Mount (3D). It moves the device in 3D and travels with the plan when you export it for Home Assistant. Reset goes back to the mount type’s default.

Under Home Assistant, link the device to the Home Assistant device it is, so its measured signal shows on the plan. See Link plan devices.
