📟 What are Devices?

Resident Devices: Transmitting devices used by residents to call for assistance, such as pull cords, push buttons, or pendants.

Passive Devices: Sensors like smoke detectors, contact sensors, or motion sensors that send notifications automatically.

Note: All devices must be added to a resident's account so caregivers can receive alerts.
