Learn how to assign a wearable call button to a resident.
2 min task
What
The wearable call button is a small, portable button. A resident can carry it or wear it on the body by putting it inside a wristband or pendant. When the resident presses the button, a call request is sent through the nearest Nobi light or Gateway.
Why
Pairing the wearable call button allows residents to call for help from anywhere nearby a Nobi light or Gateway.
Because the call can go through any Nobi light or Gateway, residents can ask for help:
in shared spaces,
in another housing unit,
on behalf of someone else, and
in areas where Nobi lights aren't installed, but Gateways are.
