The Personal Alerting Device (PAD) is an AWS IoT programmable button based on the Amazon Dash Button hardware. This simple Wi-Fi device provides a three function button and is easy to configure and manage.

Using the AWS IoT rules engine the PAD buttons have been connected to your or your customers StaffAlerter.com site. Upon press an AWS IoT event is created, these events are then routed to the AWS StaffAlerter.com server where they are processed based upon the configured rule. Each PAD button can be configured to have a rule configured for single-click, double-click, or long-press events on StaffAlerter.com

Configuring the PAD for a different SSID

Step 1 - Putting the PAD into discovery mode

  1. Remove the AWS IoT button from its packaging
  2. Press and hold the button until a blue blinking light appears. (This should take no longer than 15 seconds.)

Step 2 - Connect to the Wi-Fi network

  1. The button acts as a Wi-Fi access point, so when your computer searches for Wi-Fi networks, it will find one called Button ConfigureMe - XXX where XXX is a three-character string generated by the button.
  2. Use your computer to connect to the button’s Wi-Fi access point

Step 3

  1. The first time you connect to the button’s Wi-Fi access point, you will be prompted for the WPA2-PSK password.
  2. Type the last 8 characters of the device serial number (DSN). You’ll find the DSN on the back of the device as shown below.
