Okay, so I got this WiFi caregiver call button system for my grandma, and here’s the real tea ☕.
First off, the setup was… interesting. The manual might as well be written in hieroglyphics. It says 'No Support 5GHz,' but guess what? Mine only paired on 5GHz. 🤷♀️ Also, the app calls the SOS button a 'Detector'? Like, why?
BUT when it works? Magic. Tested it all over our huge house—basement to attic—and the alerts came through loud and clear on both the receiver and my phone. Even when I was 50 MILES AWAY at camp, it worked! (Shoutout to that one real SOS alert that saved my brother’s trip to the hospital.)
Downsides: The app is clunky AF. Adding contacts for SMS alerts? Nightmare fuel. One number worked; the rest ghosted me for hours. Also, no on/off switch—just a mysterious hole where it should be. And if you’re using an iPhone, brace yourself for subscription sneakiness.
Verdict: 3.5/5 stars (rounded down for Amazon’s missing $5 credit 😐). Great concept, needs polish.
