Location Validation confirms that a device's Smart Location assignment matches its physical position and that the Location Engine is receiving data from it. Run this check after installing infrastructure devices to verify the deployment is accurate before leaving the site.
Before you begin
- Signed in to Kio Setup Manager with the Device Management role
- Device is installed and assigned to a Smart Location room
- Device is within Bluetooth range of your mobile device
Steps
Tap Tools in the bottom navigation bar.
Tap Location Validation.
Select the device you want to validate:
- Tap Scan device to scan the device's QR code, or
- Select the device from the nearby device list
Kio Setup Manager checks the device's current detected location against its assigned Smart Location room.
Review the validation result:
Result Meaning Action Location confirmed Device is reporting from its assigned room No action needed Location mismatch Device is detected in a different room than assigned Verify the physical install location matches the Smart Location room assignment, correct if needed, then re-run validation Not detected Device cannot be reached over Bluetooth Verify Bluetooth is enabled and you are within range of the device
What happens next
A confirmed result means the device is installed correctly and contributing to location accuracy. If validation shows a mismatch, check the floor plan in Smart Location — the device's assigned room may not match its physical position. Correct the Smart Location assignment if needed and re-run validation.
