What is it?
The Keyfob is used to control the AlertMe Intruder Alarm system, by blipping your home whenever you go in,
or out. The big button is used when you return Home, and the small button when you go Away. This affects
how the Intruder Alarm and Emergency Alarms work - when you are At Home, the Motion Sensors do not
trigger an alarm, for example, but when you are Away they do. You can also set different doorbell sounds for
whether you are at home or not, and get notifications when other family members go out, or come back home
- even if you are not at home yourself! The Keyfob is battery powered and looks like this:
You can hang it on your keyring! There's more info here.
How do I start it up?
To put in a battery, insert a small flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot at the keyring end, and lever up the top
of the case, then slide it back away from the keyring end (see here for pictures or here for a movie). The
battery is supplied by AlertMe in the Keyfob box. Clip the Keyfob together again when you have put the
battery in. The light should then blink twice every few seconds for a while; this will stop once the Keyfob is
communicating with the Hub. If the light does not turn on at all, then click here for help.
If it stops flashing, but does not appear on the website as an icon, wait a few minutes. If that doesn't work, try
taking the battery out for 10 seconds, replacing it, and waiting another few minutes. If it still doesn't appear,
click here.
If your AlertMe Keyfob came with a special tool in the Keyfob box, you can use that to open it - click here.
What should I call it?
You should give each Keyfob the name of the person who will keep it. So, if one Keyfob will belong to Billy, call
the Keyfob "Billy" here on the website. Then, AlertMe can show you who is at home at any given time, and can
tell you who set the alarm when they left the house, and so on.
