Automation For Lights?
-
Here's a weird one, I apparently have a hard time hearing my phone, during my on call late at night, So Im looking at ways to make it to where I can hear my phone and wake up, as well as stay awake to handle the call.
friend of mine suggested automation of a bright light (lamp or otherwise) that will turn on when the phone rings from my work number in hopes that the light would wake up me along with the ringing of the phone.Any ideas on how to go about that?
or Ideas on tech that could help me wake up to my phone ringing?My main goal is to stop missing calls or falling asleep soon after answering the calls so i can help.
The calls that come in at 2-5 am are normally emergency situations where they need help within 10 minutes. -
95 decibels should wake you up

Looks like it needs to be an analog phone..
That's a good idea though. -

but.. Not some much when Emergency calls come in.I have my PRTG alert notification set to The Walking Dead theme. It has woken me up every time. Including yesterday at 5:55 AM to tell me there was a problem with the server room AC.

But then again...The whole point is to wake up. It has a wide range of pitches and volumes.

Right, I've tried a few ring tones and such
-
I have this same problem.. luckily, I'm never on call.

I'm thinking that something involving IFTTT and smart bulbs shouldn't be too difficult to set up

Aren't you technically always on call? You're the entire department right
-
This:
https://www.radwell.com/en-US/Buy/KROWN MANUFACTURING/KROWN MANUFACTURING/K-RA005Plus Follow Me (or call forwarding at a minimum) on your cell phone should wake the dead.. Just turn it on at bed time and off in the morning.
Or at least get you thinking in a direction that you may not have thought of.....
-
I despise being on-call. sadly it comes around every four weeks... well at least for now. Not sure about the new gig yet.
I've got to have a loud annoying ring tone. And it can't sit next to me. While I have a huge problem with sleeping, I can sleep through it. So I found a few tones on Zedge and use them.
Of course if it goes off and I miss it,.. I can expect a punch in the shoulder from my wife to go turn it off... she likes her sleep too....
-
@gjacobse for me same thing if I don't hear my cell phone ring at 2am the wife slap will wake me up
-
I sleep with a smart watch on my wrist and a phone under my pillow. I am bound to wake up.
-
Or how about they just call until you answer. On call does not mean, not allowed to sleep.
