Create Physical Spaces
A physical space in ZenEdge represents the actual hardware — the real meeting room or pod. Virtual spaces in ZenCore handle bookings; physical spaces in ZenEdge handle the door, Wi-Fi, display, and other devices for that room. This video shows how to create and describe one.
What you'll learn
- Physical (ZenEdge — hardware) vs Virtual (ZenCore — bookings) — why both exist
- Creating a physical space — name + description
- Editing or deleting an existing physical space
- Why physical spaces exist — they host the IoT devices (door, Wi-Fi) and the meeting room display

00:00 — This tutorial guides you through creating and managing physical spaces. You'll define a physical space and add descriptive details to identify it clearly.
00:11 — A physical space is the actual hardware — the real meeting room or pod. In ZenCore we have spaces that are virtual. In ZenEdge, the physical space is the hardware.
00:34 — Click Create Space. Give it a name — e.g., "Meeting Room A".
00:47 — Add a description to identify the space clearly — e.g., "On the second floor".
01:00 — Click Create Meeting Space. You can create any number of physical spaces here, and edit or delete them at any time.
01:17 — Why create a physical space? You attach all your IoT devices to it (door, Wi-Fi, lights, fan, etc.). The next videos cover that.
01:28 — You've successfully created and described a physical space. This setup prepares you to map it to a virtual space and attach IoT devices.
Next up
- Connect Physical to Virtual — map this physical space to a ZenCore virtual space
- Add Devices — attach door, Wi-Fi, and other IoT devices
- Meeting Room Display — pair an Android tablet outside the room
