What is it?
The Button is quite simply a button! You can use it to provide an input to your AlertMe system for many
different reasons. Most likely, your Button will become your AlertMe Doorbell; we will offer more Button
functions soon. It is battery powered and looks like this:
There's more info here.
How do I start it up?
To put in a battery, squeeze the tabs on opposite sides of the sensor and lift off the front (see here for pictures
or here for a movie). The battery is supplied by AlertMe in the Button box. Clip the back on the sensor 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 Button 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.
Where should I put it?
If your Button is to be an AlertMe Doorbell, then you should place it where you would put a doorbell! If you
are going to use your Button for something else, then it should be clear where you would want it for that
reason.
You should also try to follow our general Accessory positioning guidelines.
