A floor in Home Assistant is a logical grouping of {% term areas %} meant to match your home's physical floors.
Devices and entities cannot be assigned to floors directly but to areas. Floors can be used in {% term automations %} and {% term scripts %} as a target for {% term actions %}. For example, to turn off all the lights on the downstairs floor when you go to bed.
Creating a floor
Follow these steps to create a new floor.
-
Go to {% my areas title="Settings > Areas, labels & zones" %} and select Create floor.
-
In the dialog, enter the floor details:
- Give the floor a Name (required).
- Add a floor Level.
- The number can be negative. For example for underground floors.
- This number can later be used for sorting.
- Add an icon (We use Material icons).
- Add an Alias.
- Aliases are alternative names used in voice assistants to refer to an entity, area, or floor.
-
Select Add.
Result: A new floor is created.
-
You can now assign areas to that floor.
Reordering floors on built-in dashboards
{% include organizing/reorder-areas.md %}
Deleting a floor
Follow these steps to delete a floor. Areas that are assigned to a floor will become unassigned. {% term Automations %} and {% term scripts %} or voice assistants that used a floor as a target will no longer work as they no longer have a target.
-
Go to {% my areas title="Settings > Areas, labels & zones" %}.
-
Next to the floor, select the three dots {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %} menu and select Delete floor.
-
If you have {% term automations %}, {% term scripts %}, or voice assistants that used floors as a target, you will need to update these.
