# Devices

## Devices and Automation Objects

The Devices section is used to manage automation objects that are synchronized from connected BUS gateways, eLAN gateways, or API integrations.

All available control objects can be viewed in the Devices list, including their gateway, automation name, unit type, device name, and communication status.

{% hint style="info" %}
Before creating automation, ensure that control objects such as Bits, Integers, or API points are available. These represent devices and actions within the system.
{% endhint %}

To use a device in automation:

1. Navigate to **Devices**.
2. Click **Add BUS Device to Automation**.

3. Select the appropriate gateway.
4. Enter an Automation Name.
5. Select the required object from the synchronized device list.
6. Click **Save**.

Available objects may include:

* Room Status
* Card Present
* Card Holder Status
* Door Status
* Window Status
* Do Not Disturb (DND)
* Make Up Room (MUR)
* Presence Detection
* Lighting Control
* HVAC Control
* System Bits and Integers

Once the required objects are available, automation rules can be created to define system behavior.

For example:

* Activate a Welcome Scene when a guest checks in.
* Switch a room to Energy Saving Mode during check-out.
* Turn off lighting and HVAC when no card is present.
* Generate notifications based on room status or guest requests.

These automation objects serve as the foundation for all automation, hotel services, monitoring, and third-party integrations within iNELS Harmony.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.inels.com/inels-harmony/devices.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
