Hi guys my grandpappers aint doing so well with his old age and what not. Anyway hes been asking and heckling at me to get him a life alert. He didnt want to pay for it so i decided ill jerryrig something up similiar or even better to life alert. I have the overall schematic in my heads but i just need to rough out the kinks of how it will over all work. I think i will use some sort of good adhesive for the strap that he can have around his neck, so like gorilla glue or even nails glue. As far as getting the staples button to activate sirry upon activation. Well that part i havent figured out but i think i can also use the glue i used for the strap on the staples that was easy button to the front glass screen of of the iphone.
maybe look at an amazon button

How do you figure? I dont think i can get it all the way here. amazon wont deliver to me.

they sell buttons for people to program themselves

I believe it can be used to send an automated text when pressed

This would definitely work.
Anyway, the expensive part of these buttons isn't the hardware, it's the 24 hour monitor service. If you hook up an amazon button, I hope your grandpa has good wifi, and that a text message can wake you out of a dead sleep. Otherwise you are going to have to live with the fact that you helped kill your grandparents.

took too long to get to the point. I have no idea what this thread is about and fuck you OP for rambling.
i just went through this with my 90 year old grandmother.
after weighing all options (life alert, security companies, bluetooth tied to smart phone things) i settle on this.

and since you're grandpappers is an old fuck, i bet he still has a land line.
no subscription, no smart phone, just standard land line
