1. A method for managing locations of components, the method comprising, at a computing device:
identifying a location of the computing device;
receiving respective signals from a plurality of components that are within communicable range of the computing device;
determining respective signal strengths of the respective signals;
filtering the plurality of components based on the respective signal strengths to produce a filtered plurality of components;
associating the filtered plurality of components with the location; and
generating an internal map of a multi-room structure that includes at least the location and the filtered plurality of components.
