• Peripherals to Use with the Nobi Light

    Peripherals are used in combination with the Nobi light.

    Below is an overview of the available peripherals, what they do, and where they are used.

     

    The Nobi Button

    A self-powered wireless button that works like a wall switch for the Nobi Smart Light, with extra functions to send a call request, snooze fall detection, or close an escalation. No batteries or cables needed.

     

    Wireless Switching Interface (On-Wall)

    A battery-powered button that controls the Nobi Smart Light like a switch and can also send a call request, snooze fall detection, or close an escalation—all with a single press.

     

     

    The Wired Switching Interface

     

    Wired switching interface modules make it possible to use traditional wall switches with the Nobi Smart Light while keeping constant power to Nobi.

    • Wired switching interface Relay: Connects behind a wall switch to control both the Nobi light and other devices (e.g. a second light or night lighting). Ideal when multiple lights are linked to one switch.

    • Wired switching interface (Mains): Powered directly from the mains, it lets a standard wall switch operate the Nobi light like a normal light, as long as constant power and space are available.

    Both options provide reliable control without charging or maintenance.

     

    Wireless push button interface

     

    A compact, battery-powered switch that lets existing wall switches control the Nobi Smart Light while it stays powered. Battery status is visible in the app, and low-battery alerts are sent automatically.

     

    Wearable Call Button (Gen 1)

     

    A waterproof, rechargeable button worn as a bracelet or pendant. Connected wirelessly to the Nobi light, it lets residents send a call request with one press—always within reach for daily use.
     

    Pull cord

    The Nobi Pull Cord is a self-powered device that lets residents trigger a call request by pulling a cord.
     

    Wearable Call Button

    The wearable call button is a device that lets residents quickly call for help or request assistance by pressing a discreet device warn on their wrist or as a necklace. It integrates directly with the Nobi platform and ensures fast, reliable communication during escalations.
     

    The scale

     

    A Bluetooth-connected scale that sends weight directly to the Nobi Smart Light. The light reads the value aloud and shows it on the dashboard, supporting residents who may not easily read the scale themselves.

     

    Blood pressure monitor

     

    A Bluetooth device that sends measurements directly to the Nobi Smart Light. The light reads the values aloud and shows them on the dashboard, making daily health tracking simple and accessible.

     

    Bluetooth door lock

     

    A smart Bluetooth door lock that works with the Nobi Smart Light to let authorized contacts unlock doors during a fall escalation or call request. It ensures quick access while keeping residents safe and in control.

  • Escalation Procedure

    In this article you will discover how Nobi notifies care staff of escalations via an Escalation procedure.

    What

    When an escalation occurs, help is needed quickly. Nobi achieves this by contacting care staff via the configured channels. This process is called an escalation procedure.

    Nobi can send alerts through multiple channels: by calling a phone, in-app notification with the Escalations via Nobi Mobile App feature, mobile notifications, email, or through a nurse call system.

    Who actually gets contacted depends on how they're being notified. When Escalations via Nobi Mobile App is enabled, only caregivers will receive the notification if they:

    • have permissions in that department, and

    • are signed into that working area in the app.

    If the feature is off, or for phone escalations, only configured phone numbers listed in the escalation procedure are contacted. 

    Informational emails and mobile notifications work differently: rather than reaching everyone with a certain permission, they only go to the specific staff members the care home has chosen to add.

    The escalation procedure can be configured at two levels:

    • Site / community level: applies to all departments and rooms.
    • Department level: overrides the site / community settings and sets an escalation procedure for the department.

    Why

    Without an escalation procedure, Nobi cannot alert you of a fall, resident call, assistance call, or escalatable monitoring events

    It is important that you configure the escalation procedure in such a way that each resident or staff member can be assisted as fast as possible in case of an escalation. 

    To get the most out of Nobi's escalation procedure:

    • Set a default procedure at the site / community level so no room is ever left without help.

    • Use the department level for tailored procedures in specific units.
