There are two main methods to manually activate a sound for evacuation on your Netbell device without requiring additional hardware:
Method 1: Web Interface
- Log in to your Netbell device’s webpage
- Navigate to the Services + Relays page
- Click the red dot under the State tab
- This will manually activate the evacuation bell
Method 2: RESTful API via Mobile App
You can use the device’s RESTful API to activate the relay (bell) through a third-party mobile application:
- For iPhone users: Rest-HTTP API Client (or similar apps)
- For Android users: Various free REST API client apps are available
- These apps allow you to send API commands to trigger the evacuation sound remotely
Are there other activation methods available?
Yes, the most straightforward method would be using a physical push button. However, the web interface and API methods described above provide the manual control you need without requiring any additional hardware.
Which method is recommended?
- Web Interface: Best for manual activation when you have computer/tablet access
- Mobile API: Ideal for remote activation and emergency situations when you need to trigger the alarm from anywhere with internet connectivity
Both methods provide reliable manual control of your evacuation system without the need for additional buttons or accessories.
