Get Real-time Desk Occupancy for a Floor

This API returns the desk occupancy for all desk sensors on a floor.

For the sensors to report occupancy data, you will need licenses based on the number of sensors. You will need to purchase Sensor and API licenses to get real-time desk occupancy for all desks on a floor. Refer to the License Types and Product Codes.   

Also, before using this API call, ensure that all desk sensors are assigned to 'Desk Sensor' Fixture Type. See article Enable Desk Sensors to assign 'Desk Sensor' Fixture Type to sensors.
