accidental presses. The device communicates with a hub via the encrypted
radio protocol and compatible only with Ajax security systems. The
line-of-sight communication range is up to 1300 meters. DoubleButton operates
from the pre-installed battery up to 5 years.

monitoring station.
An alarm can be raised by pressing both buttons: one-time short or long press
(more than 2 seconds). If only one of the buttons is pressed, the alarm signal is
not transmitted.

short and long presses have different icons, but the event code sent to the
monitoring station, SMS, and push notifications do not depend on the pressing

The button is easy to carry around thanks to a special hole on its body. It can be

DoubleButton has an IP55 protection index. Which means that the device body is
protected from dust and splashes. And a special protective divider, tight buttons,
and the need to press two buttons at once eliminate false alarms.
