Bought this for my dad who had shoulder surgery. I didn't want to rely on his lessened ability to use his phone to get ahold of me, so I gave these buttons a try. Unbelievably easy to set up!! It's rare to find something that doesn't depend on an app for everything; with this system, you just plug it in and it works. I truly, truly appreciate the simplicity, and my elderly parents have no trouble with it at all.
Within our house, we put a speaker in the family room and in the hallway by my room. The loudest setting is pretty loud! I feel confident that I would hear it even if I was sleeping (volume can be adjusted to very quiet and mute/lights only too). It's definitely worth the money to have, even if it's just for their nightstand. Many buttons can be connected to the speakers, so eventually I like the idea of purchasing more buttons to attach onto the walls probably by the shower where they might remove the lanyard.
The set of two speakers and two buttons comes already paired, meaning pushing either button sets off both speakers. Getting technical, I also like that there are instructions for pairing and unpairing devices. Since I care for both parents, I like the option of being able to pair one button to one speaker with a different alarm tone on each speaker for each mom/dad. We have no need for actually doing that as of now, but for those who have multiple handicapped individuals in their home this might be good to know.
