Personal Alerting Device (PAD-SB)

The Personal Alerting Device (PAD-SB) is an PM Power Products programmable button based on  and as a replacement for the Amazon Dash Button hardware. This simple Wi-Fi device provides a multiple function button and is easy to configure and manage.

Using  the StaffAlerter Messaging Protocol the PAD buttons have been connected to your or your customers StaffAlerter.com site.  Upon pressing the PAD-SB an event is created, these events are then routed directly to your or your customers StaffAlerter.com web server where they are processed based upon the configured rule. Each PAD-SB button can be configured to have a rule configured for PAD-SB Activated, single-click, double-click, triple-click, or four or more click events on StaffAlerter.com
