Ajax Systems highlights importance of controlling home automation device using a button trigger

Ajax Systems highlights importance of controlling home automation device using a button trigger

The button (wireless panic button) operates at up to 1,300 meters from the hub and is indispensable in situations where one’s life is at risk. Moreover, the button is a simple way to control a smart home.

Set up the automation device response to button pressing and switch the lights off, close the gates, or open roller shutters with a single click. The button is tiny and weightless, resistant to dust and splashes. It can be easily attached onto any surface, worn on the wrist or around the neck. Keep it always close by!

Protection against false pressing

As soon as the hub receives a signal from button, it instantly sends notifications to all users of the system and the security company. If necessary, it can also activate sirens. A child left home alone can press a button to call for help if they hear a stranger banging on the door. If a cashier is at risk, they can easily reach button installed inside the cash register and raise a silent alarm.

Ajax has developed a two-level system for protection against false pressing

And the security patrol will know precisely where the problem is thanks to the informative Ajax security system notifications. Button notifications are SOS signals in the security language. Security companies respond to them immediately. Understanding the cost of false alarms, Ajax has developed a two-level system for protection against false pressing. A single button is recessed into the body of the device. One can carry button in a pocket of their pants, in a handbag, or keep it by the bed.

Remote control for automation devices

It will only send the signal when pressed with a finger. For additional protection, button can be configured to react to a double pressing or a long hold. Button is a simple and reliable way to raise an alarm instantly when the security system is disarmed: during business hours or when the family is at home.

Hubs on OS Malevich 2.8 or later allow using button as a remote control for automation devices. In the Control mode, button has two pressing options: short and long (the button is pressed for more than 3 seconds). In turn, these presses trigger one or more automation devices: Relay, WallSwitch, or Socket. Such scenarios allow automating the security system and reducing the number of routine actions. Switch the lights on, turn water off, open the gates, block electric locks with a single button press.
