With the ring system they have a physical button that sits by the bed. That’s the process they may as well just dial 911. And hope that they can do all of this before the intruder finds them. It’s a ridiculous notion to think that during an intense moment such as a break-in, that my wife or kids would have to locate their phone, unlock the phone, find the app, open the app, and then find the panic button to call for help. I hate to have the Wyze system sitting in a box in a closet but my family’s safety is too important. I switched back to the Ring home security system because the physical panic button is a non-negotiable feature for us. A similar exception for motion detection on cameras or movement sensors would also be nice. This would allow caregivers the ability to “monitor” an elderly parent, for example, overnight without having to be disturbed by other notifications. On the iPhone, text messages that end with “urgent” can break through. Allow notifications to “break through” any “do not disturb” settings.
Your existing notification framework would work just fine with this device, but there would be one nice additional feature if possible:
Able to be stationed securely on a nightstand or bed so it can’t easily be knocked off or lost during the night.Able to be worn as either a bracelet or necklace (lanyard) during the day.a red LED lights when it has been pressed and goes out if pressed again (or perhaps long-pressed)) Visual and/or audible feedback so the user knows the button has been pressed (e.g.Long battery life (with easily replaceable standard battery).Low-cost (OK, you folks already do well there!).But I guess some button is better than no button, regardless of the level of support). I would call it a “Wireless Call Button” or “Wireless Help Button” (I think “panic” is a different kind of application that requires a much higher level of reliability and monitoring. After searching around for this kind of thing myself for my 92-year-old mother-in-law who just moved in with us, there appears to be a real gap in the marketplace for true wifi buttons like this. Especially with the growing number of tech-savvy elders and their caregiving family. I believe something like this would be a GREAT addition to the Wyze product line.
