In this article, we'll walk you through how to pair the Nobi Pull Cord with a Nobi Smart Light to trigger a call request when pulled.
4 min task
What
The Nobi Pull Cord is a self-powered device that connects to the Nobi Smart Light via Bluetooth. When pulled, it sends an immediate alert to care staff—just like a call button.
For a detailed description of other peripherals, go to our Types of peripherals page.
Why
Some residents find it hard to press a button, especially in stressful moments. A pull cord is easier to reach and activate, even while standing. Because it’s self-powered, it’s always ready—no batteries, no charging, no maintenance.
Once the Nobi Pull Cord is placed on the wall, pairing it to the right Nobi light is crucial. You do this in the Nobi app. The light must be nearby during pairing.
Pair via the Nobi mobile app
Pairing the Nobi Pull Cord is done through the Nobi application. Pairing is easy. Just follow the wizard to complete the connection. The button should be physically near the light during the process.
