Enabling Map Viewer Hardware For Map Routing - On Site Installation Instructions1. Background In Q4 of 2025, GoBright launched a new routing feature for their mapping solution. This is for live directions to resources (rooms, desks, parking. lockers and spaces) on map viewers.2. TestingThe tech team at Ascentae have worked alongside the GoBright team and tested this extensively, and we're impressed with the functionality. This is a great addition to the GoBright platform.3. CommissioningIf you have purchased a commissioning package with us, we'll configure the portal remotely. However, there are some steps that on-site engineers will need to perform which cannot be carried out remotely. Please see sections 4 & 5.4. Important Info & Key PointsOnly V2 of the Map Viewer supports this functionality. If you're running V1, you'll need to switch.The Map Viewer must support WebView (enabled in developer mode).We'll guide you through this in the next section.5. Enabling WebView & V2This is a simple procedure and needs to be carried out in the Android settings on the device. Let's walk you through the steps.A) Close the GoBright application — instructions are here.B) Scroll down to the Application section and keep tapping Current Version until it says 'you're now a developer'.C) On the same page, look for Developer Tools and select Browser. Change the browser to WebView. If it's stuck on loading, don't worry. Press settings and reboot the panel from the options menu. Now that we've updated to WebView, let's flick the switch to the V2 of the map viewer.Switching to V2A) Log in to your GoBright portal here.B) Head to Settings > Devices > Profiles. Look for the Map Viewer profile — this is clear as it will show as a Map Viewer Display in the Type column. Select this profileC) Scroll down to the Map Viewer section and make sure the theme is set to Version 2. If the device is stuck on loading again after saving the changes, please reboot the unit.The Mobile AppAs of the 19th of January 2026, GoBright added their map routing solution on both Apple and Android devices that have their app installed.The GoBright app is available for free on both platforms. Just check out the relevant store for your device.A live working example:

You must have Integration configured on your portal in order to set this up.If you do not have integration, please speak to your account manager for pricing.In February 2025, GoBright expanded their integration options. Rooms can already be linked to a room resource email address in O365 - but now desks and parking can be configured in the same way too.Each desk / parking space needs to be linked to a resource email address in your O365 environment. For example:  Once the resources are configured, they need to be setup in GoBright.DesksOn the GoBright portal head to Settings > Work and select the relevant desk you need to update. You need to change 'no integration' to the relevant name of the Integration you have configured. ParkingThe same as the above applies for parking, but can be found under Settings > Park.Once Microsoft and GoBright have synced, you can book directly from Outlook.For example, you can book an office, desk and a parking space via Outlook at the same time:And this will update both your calendar and the calendar for the room(s).The update is pushed to the GoBright portal. For example:If you have Teams integration enabled, the link is automatically added to the invite for the calendar of the person booking the room and also the rooms resource itself. If you have any questions, please contact support@ascentae.com for assistance. 

Overview & Battery Information ▲ The EMS2 desk sensor is a wireless LoRaWAN® sensor for indoor environments that measures desk occupancy. It can also measure temperature and humidity. The compact design makes it ideal for mounting under desks. As you're deploying these in your smart office in combination with the GoBright solution, please ensure you have the GoBright Advanced Gateway (AGW) installed. This article covers the AGW Batteries are not included. The EMS2 requires 1 x AA 3.6V lithium battery. Standard 1.5V batteries are not supported and will not power the device. When using the recommended batteries, you can expect a battery life of up to 5 years, depending on usage. Calculate the battery life for your device Buy batteries direct from Elsys Checklist ▼ ✓ A smartphone with the GoBright app installed. This is available for free from both the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. ✓ Full admin access rights for your GoBright account. ✓ The GoBright advanced gateway (AGW) that has been configured and commissioned. We've put together a full guide of how to get up and running in this article. ✓ Bluetooth and NFC enabled on the smartphone. Installation Recommendations ▼ Ensure the sensor has a clear line of sight to the member of staff sat at the desk. Place the sensor far enough back under the desk to avoid accidental damage. For optimal occupancy the sensor should be placed between 10 and 20cm from the edge of the desk. However, the sensor can detect occupancy of up to 50cm with a 60° field of view.Do not place the sensor near heat / cooling equipment such as under-desk heaters. Commissioning Steps ▼ Carefully remove the cover from the device and power it up with the AA 3.6V battery. The LED on the device will quickly flash red and green at the same time. The LED does not constantly stay on, but flashes every 30 seconds after that. Open the GoBright app on your phone and select the 3 grid lines in the corner and then Admin tools. Select LoRa Sensors and then Commission a Sensor. The sensor vendor you need is Elsys. You will now see the following: Hold your phone to the rear of the sensor to retrieve the information. You'll then see the following screen: Link the sensor to the appropriate desk, room or parking space. On the next page select Commission Sensor. It will then ask you to confirm the link, so hold your phone to the rear of the sensor again. All done! You will automatically be directed to the following page (same as step 3). However, on this page, select 'LoRa Sensors' and you will see the sensor that you've just commissioned: This is also shown in your GoBright portal under Settings > Devices > Sensors. You can update what room / desk / parking space the sensor is linked to easily in the GoBright portal or the app. The Portal & Hardware ▼ Now you see in the GoBright portal that the desk is showing as occupied (amber). And... The image shows when an Interact is linked to the new desk sensor and no booking is in place, but someone is sat at the desk.If an upcoming booking is in place, you can also enable the 'check-in by occupancy sensor' so the Interact will change from amber to red automatically when someone sits at the desk.
