Various maps may be generated that include graphical representations of the electronic devices, as well as walls, doorways, furniture, or other features within the area or space of interest. A user may amend or add various details within such a map by way of respective user interfaces presented by the computing device. The respective functions and cooperative operations of the electronic devices may be visualized and improved through such mapping.
