How do the Bluetooth buttons work?

Bluetooth Smart Buttons connect wirelessly to a nearby device running the teamSOS app, or to a Bluetooth hub for wider coverage. Each button has three configurable actions:

Single click – sends a confirmation test to organisation administrators, useful for checking the button is working and in range.
Double click – triggers an incident-specific SOS alert.
Press and hold – sends a personal "In Case of Emergency" (ICE) alert to an assigned contact.

Schools use them in various ways:

As panic buttons on front desks
For lone workers on the move
Assigned to individual staff members, locations (e.g. classroom, playground), or students with additional needs or medical requirements, so alerts can identify exactly who or where help is needed
