You can manage rooms within the mobile app very easily if you have a DIY installed alarm system. If you have a professionally monitored installation then the rooms will be set up for you by a Boundary engineer when the system is installed.
The app will also tell you what the average temperature of the sensors is for each room on the home page. Rooms can also be used for creating part arm settings very easily. Think of them as zones but with added flexibility!
