The buildings tab in the settings panel allows users to quickly see all the buildings in the organization that use Mero. You can also see the status of sensors and the locations that hold them.
If a location shows as having reduced performance, it means that one or more sensors / base stations are offline or non-operational. Mero recommends that you replace those sensors at your convenience. Please see here for more base station information, and here for sensor information.
Buildings in the Mero System represent the place that the Mero system is installed
There are 3 categories of hierarchy within the Mero System
Building - This is the top level that represents the whole building
Floor - This could be floors or distinct areas that the Mero system is installed in
Location - These are areas within levels that contain sensors or other devices
