# Objects

MobiusFlow Objects represent real or virtual devices such as sensors, rooms, pieces of equipment, and machinery. All objects are based on an [Object Profile](https://docs.mobiusflow.com/help/mobiusflow-v3/mobiusflow-toolbox-v3/object-profiles) which describes the shape of the object i.e. what properties (resources) an objects has, the data type of each property (resource), and metadata describing the object and it properties.

{% hint style="info" %}
MobiusFlow object properties are called resources. A resource holds a single value associated with an object. 

E.g. an air quality sensor object may have separate resources for temperature, humidity, and CO<sub>2</sub> level.
{% endhint %}

For more information on objects and resources read the [MobiusFlow Architecture](https://docs.mobiusflow.com/help/mobiusflow-v3/mobiusflow-overview/mobiusflow-architecture) article.

Objects must belong to a [service](https://docs.mobiusflow.com/help/mobiusflow-v3/mobiusflow-engine-api-v3/services). To add new objects or configure existing objects on a service open the Service's Objects page by clicking on the service in the main menu or clicking on the main body of a service's card on the Services page.
