Operating principle

The button is a wireless panic button that, when pressed, transmits an alarm to users, as well as to the security company’s CMS. In Control mode, Button allows you to control Ajax automation devices with a short or long press of a button.
In panic mode, the Button can act as a panic button and signal about a threat, or inform about an intrusion, as well as are, gas or medical alarm. You can choose the type of alarm in the button settings. The text of alarm not cations depends on the selected type, as well as the event codes transmitted to the central monitoring station of the security company (CMS).

You can bind the action of an automation device (Relay, WallSwitch or Socket) to a button press in the Button settings — Scenarios menu.

The Button is equipped with protection against the accidental press and transmits alarms at a distance of up to 1,300 m from the hub. Please be aware that the presence of any obstructions that impede the signal (for example, walls or doors) will reduce this distance.

The button is easy to carry around. You can always keep it on a wrist or a necklace. The device is resistant to dust and splashes.

When connecting Button via ReX, note that Button does not automatically switch between the radio networks of the radio signal extender and the hub. You can assign Button to another hub or ReX manually in the app.
