What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This small optical sensor detects when a phone or tablet screen lights up — from an incoming call, text, or notification — and relays that signal through the Bellman & Symfon Visit home alerting system, triggering visual or vibrating alerts like flashing lamps or bed shakers. It's designed for people who are deaf or hard of hearing and need to know when their mobile phone is alerting them, especially in situations where they can't hear a ringtone or feel a vibration. This is a component, not a complete solution — it plugs into a compatible Bellman & Symfon transmitter or receiver (sold separately) using a 2.5mm or 3.5mm jack, so it only works within that ecosystem. If you don't already own compatible Visit system hardware, budget for those additional pieces before purchasing this sensor.
