Connecting several smartphones: the step by step

Pair your devices, enable the remote alarm and receive alerts: organise communication between your sayseeshow.io smartphones in a few minutes.

How do I connect or disconnect another smartphone?

It all starts by pairing two devices: your old phone with your everyday phone, for example. Take the two devices you want to pair in front of you, with the sayseeshow.io application open.

  • On both smartphones, click on the network icon at the top of the application.
  • Pair your smartphones by clicking on Add a device on both of them: the same pairing screen then appears on each.
  • Network icon at the top of the sayseeshow.io application
  • On the smartphone that will act as sensor, click on Invite a machine: this generates a security code that has to be entered on the other smartphone. A time bar tells you that you have 2 minutes from the moment the code was issued, for added security.
  • Add a device button on both smartphones
  • On the other smartphone, click on Enter an invitation code and type in the code generated when the invitation was made on the first smartphone.
  • Invite a machine button on the smartphone used as sensor
  • Your two smartphones are now paired. On this new screen, you can repeat the operation to pair further smartphones.
  • Temporary security code generated to invite a device
  • Make sure both devices are paired: you must see the word Connected in green next to the name on each device.
  • Enter an invitation code screen on the second smartphone
  • To disconnect a device, click on Remove: this unpairs the device.
How do I enable or disable the remote alarm?

Click on the Connections icon.

  • Connections icon of the sayseeshow.io application

On the next screen, check that your paired devices show connected, then click on the name of the device whose remote alarm you want to enable (here Old phone).

  • List of paired devices, with the Connected status in green

An icon tells you that the device (Old phone) has its alarm running.

  • Icon indicating that the device alarm is running
I am not receiving alerts, why?

First check that the alert activation button (at the top of the home page) is enabled on the phone that detects the problems and on the one that receives the alerts.

  • Enable Alerts button enabled on the home screen

Then check that, on both phones, the application is not set to power saving mode: otherwise it is suspended when the screen is locked.

As a workaround, you can configure the use of the black screen in Say See Show while ticking the option to keep the screen on. The phone's standby screen then does not trigger, which prevents it from switching to power saving mode while remaining energy efficient.
