roomZy Edge — the controller at your venue
roomZy Edge is the box at your venue that actually runs the bays: it switches the power units, wakes the sim PCs, and talks to the projectors, taking its instructions from your bookings. It lives on your wired network next to the equipment, updates itself, and keeps working when the internet doesn't.
01
Bookings arrive
From your dashboard or your booking platform, through roomZy.
02
Edge runs the bay
Starts it before the booking, powers it down after — on your own network.
03
You see it live
Status in your dashboard, from anywhere.
Two pages on your network
The Edge serves two pages to any phone or computer on the venue's network. roomZy gives you its address during setup; if a screen is plugged in, the status display shows it too. Reachability of power units, projectors and PCs is under Settings → Apps & devices → Device health.
Status pageno sign-in
http://<edge-address>/status
- Connected to roomZy or not, and when it last checked in.
- Wired link, software version, uptime, temperature.
- Every power unit with a reachable / unreachable mark, the projectors and PCs it knows.
- The bookings it's holding for the next few days.
First stop when a bay isn't behaving: if the power unit shows unreachable here, the problem is on the network, not in the cloud.
Local control pagestaff sign-in
http://<edge-address>/
- Sign in as admin. Each Edge has its own first-time password — roomZy gives it to you at setup, and support@roomzy.io can look it up for you. You're asked to choose your own password before anything else.
- You get the same bay cards as the dashboard: each outlet, the projector, the PC, and Start / Stop per bay, plus Start all / Stop all.
- An OFFLINE tag in the top bar means the Edge can't reach roomZy right now. Every button still works; the dashboard catches up when the connection returns.
Plug in a screen
The Edge has an HDMI output. Connect any TV or monitor and it shows a live status screen: your venue's name, whether it's connected to roomZy, each bay with ON / OFF and its current or next booking, and the address of the local control page. It updates every few seconds and needs no keyboard or sign-in — handy behind the desk or in the equipment closet.
- Powering on shows the roomZy Edge mark while it starts, then the status screen.
- During an update or a settings push it says Restarting roomZy Edge for a few seconds.
- When you shut it down it says Safe to power off before the screen goes dark.
Kasa lights and plugs
The Edge drives TP-Link Kasa lights, plugs and power strips directly — no extra software, no PC that has to stay on. Enter your Kasa login once under Settings → Apps & devices and tell roomZy what each device does. Details.
When the internet is down
Your bays don't notice
- The Edge holds the next three days of bookings. If roomZy can't reach it at a booking's start time, it starts and stops the bay itself, on time.
- Staff run bays from the local control page.
- Bookings made while you're offline reach the Edge as soon as the connection is back.
Looking after it
- Keep it wired and powered. It needs no attention; a screen is optional.
- Updates install themselves within an hour of roomZy releasing them, with a safety check that rolls back on any problem.
- Support can see it remotely. Logs and device details reach roomZy over the same connection your bookings use, so most questions are answered without a visit.
