Lamp Module

Overview

A lamp module is a device that plugs into an electric outlet. Then you can plug nightlights or lamps into the module. When the module receives a signal, it will turn the light on. At another signal, it will turn the light off. Using the GrandCare system, caregivers can:

• Send signals directly to the lamp to turn on or off
• Turn the lamp on or off at scheduled times
• Have the lamp respond to rules, for example a bathroom light can turn on if there is motion in the bedroom during the night

Setting Rules

You can set up rules to alert caregivers when something occurs. To add a rule:

• Log in to GCManage
• Open the Care Menu
• Click the "Notifications" button
• In the Action Button Rules section, click the "Add New Rule" button
  
  

There are two parts to each rule, a condition and an action. On the first screen, choose the condition. Your rule can be triggered:

• Whenever a button is pushed
• If a button is pushed during a specified time period
• If a button is not pushed during a specified time period
  
  

Once you have defined the condition, you need to set the action. Possible actions include turning on a light, or contacting a single caregiver, all caregivers, or a Call List. The types of contact include:

• Email
• Text message
• Phone call to home, work or cell phone
• Phone call to a Call List
  
  

Examples of rules might be:

• If the button is not pushed between 9 and 10am (when a nurse is expected to visit) then email an adult daughter.
• If the button is pushed at any time then send texts to all caregivers.
• If the button is pushed in the middle of the night, then contact a Call List.
  
  

Multiple rules can be triggered for any event, so that multiple types of alerts can be sent out, for example both phone calls and emails.

A checkbox next to the rule lets you set whether the rule is enabled or disabled. It might make sense to turn off a rule while your loved one is on vacation, so that alerts won't be sent out during that time. You can disable a rule by unchecking the box. When you're ready for the rule to be active again, just check the Enabled checkbox again, and then save the rule settings.
