Real-time Desk Occupancy for a Floor

This API detects and returns if a desk is occupied or unoccupied with area information from Enlighted desk sensors.

For the sensors to report occupancy data, you will need licenses based on the number of sensors. Purchase both the Sensor and API licenses to get real-time desk occupancy for all desks on a floor. Refer to the License Types and Product Codes.

Also, before using this API call, ensure all desk sensors are assigned to the 'Desk Sensor' Fixture Type. See the article Enable Desk Sensors to assign 'Desk Sensor' Fixture Type to sensors.
