Yes! While there is not a specific way in the Notion app to dedicate different sensors to different locations, it is absolutely possible to install sensors wherever you would like as long as there is a bridge set up within a reasonable range.
To set up a second bridge, tap on the 'System' icon in the Notion app, and then tap on the 'Bridges' tab. Tap on the 'Add Bridge' button and follow the prompts to connect your bridge and add it to your system.
Once your new bridge is set up, then you can add your sensors. Again, tap on the 'System' icon and go to the 'Sensors' tab. Tap on 'Add Sensor' and follow the step by step instructions. When you choose the 'Location' for your sensor, we suggest scrolling down and selecting 'Other' - which will allow you to enter a custom name for that sensor. The custom location name for your sensors that will allow you to know which sensors are in which location. For example, we have had some users use the title "Breck front door" for their system in Breckenridge, Colorado and then "ATL front door" for their system in Atlanta, Georgia.
Be aware, when you have multiple systems set up in multiple locations the notification preferences for home and away mode does not always work. This is because the Notion app will only let you set one location as your home location. In most cases we suggest that users turn on all alerts for all of their sensors when they set up Notion in multiple locations. This way you wont miss any important information from your Notion system!
Our developers are working on big changes for Notion that will allow you to set two separate locations as home so that you can continue to customize your alerts for your primary home and your vacation home.
