Setting an action: beep, notification or spoken message

For each detection you can attach a reaction: a beep, a notification or a spoken sentence. You also choose who is told: the device that detected, or another paired smartphone.

What types of actions?

Open the Settings menu, then click on the word action for the detection you chose, here Noise Detection.

  • In the next menu, give your action a name and choose a type of action.
  • The Type of action menu offers several possible responses; here we have chosen Beep.
  • Back on the previous menu, choose the kind of sound you want to be alerted with.
  • Do not forget to confirm by clicking on Confirm.

If you chose Notification or Speak, the application offers you to enter the text that will alert you or that will be spoken during an alert.

Local actions or on another smartphone?

You can trigger the alert on the device used for detection (local mode) or on another device. Having named your devices beforehand will be very useful, see the Name your smartphone section.

  • Click on the Settings icon.
  • On the detection you chose, click on Add an action.
  • In the next menu, give this action a name and choose the target phone, which can be the local one or another remote device.
  • Open the target dropdown, choose your target, then click on Confirm.

How do I have several actions?

A single detection, here Noise Detection, can carry several types of alerts. Click on Add an action: each action is added to the list and triggers its own reaction, on the target you have chosen.

Can I change or delete an action?

Yes: the list of actions for a detection can be changed from the same menu. Open the action concerned to change its name, its reaction type, its sound or its target, and confirm again with Confirm.

If a trigger seems too sensitive to you, start by adjusting the settings of the detection itself, before changing the actions: see Visual movement detection.
