Locations can be created to create a separation between Vivi Boxes in distinct locations.
Users at organisations with locations set will see the "Locations" screen the first time that they log in.
Once a user has set their location in the Vivi App, they will only see devices in that location. The Vivi App will remember their choice to return them straight to that list when the App is restarted.
The hierarchy of locations and rooms is as follows:
- Organisation
- Location (optional)
- Sub-location (optional)
- Room
- Sub-location (optional)
- Location (optional)
