Space System: your world in parent-child logic

A reading only helps if you know where it comes from. The Space System puts every sensor in its place — site, building, floor, room — so you can ask about "floor 3" or "all stores in Vienna" and get an answer.

In one sentence

The Space System is baiond's model of your physical world: sites, buildings, floors, rooms and assets arranged as parent and child spaces, each with its own devices, attributes and automations.

A sensor on its own knows very little: an ID and a number. What makes the number useful is the context — that it measures meeting room 3.07, on the third floor of the north building, at your Vienna site.

The Space System stores exactly that. You describe your world once as nested spaces: a city holds districts, a district holds objects; a campus holds buildings, floors and rooms; a stable holds stalls and animals. Each space carries its devices, its attributes — floor area, usage, opening hours — and its rules.

Because the structure is shared, everything else follows it. A dashboard for one floor, an alert for a whole building, a question to the AI agents about every store in a region: baiond knows which devices belong to the answer.

What it does for you

What changes for you.

Ask by place, not by device ID

"Which rooms on floor 3 are too warm?" works because every sensor knows its room, floor and building.
Set a rule once, apply it everywhere

A limit or an automation set on a building applies to every room below it, including the ones you add next year.
Compare like with like

Attributes such as floor area or usage make sites comparable: energy per square metre, occupancy per meeting room, store against store.

The sensor reports to the baiond Gateway, the Space System puts the reading in context (location, threshold, history), and the AI agent turns it into an answer.

Heated, empty 4
Setpoint 21°C
Rooms on floor 15

Four of 15 rooms. Meeting rooms 3.04, 3.07, 3.12 and 3.15 are held at 21 °C but have shown no presence for 3 h or longer, and none of them is booked before 14:00.

baiond AI 10:05

Recommendation

Lower the four rooms to 17 °C until 13:30 and let the setpoint follow bookings on this floor from now on.

Shall I set that up for the whole floor?

Under the hood

For technical readers

Protocols, data model and integration, for the colleague who signs off on the architecture.

Structure

Spaces form a tree of parent and child nodes of any depth. Typical levels: portfolio → site → building → floor → room → asset. Other domains use their own levels — city → district → object, or stable → stall → animal.

Attributes

Each space carries typed attributes (floor area, usage type, opening hours, capacity, target values) that dashboards, calculations and the AI agents can use.
