What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is a wireless sound sensor that clips near a telephone and detects when it rings, then transmits a signal to the Krown LookOut notification system — which can trigger a strobe light, bed shaker, or loud alarm in other rooms. It's designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and can't reliably hear a phone ringing, especially when they're in another room, asleep, or in a noisy environment. This is not a standalone solution — it's one piece of the Krown LookOut ecosystem and requires at least one LookOut receiver (sold separately) to actually alert you to anything. A sensitivity adjustment switch lets you tune the detection level to reduce false triggers from nearby sounds.
