Don’t worry about it. Cancel the alarm and all alarm groups will be informed.
It depends on the activity. When an alarm is active, both the camera which is used to film and the GPS to show the position is used, which drains the battery significantly.
Other features will affect consumption somewhat, the app will need to listen for activities from the sensors that are active in the background. When Salus mea is only in the background, the battery consumes minimally.
In cases where the phone is unable to send the alarm via the internet, it will be sent via SMS.
It works in the same way as in Sweden, check that your SIM card works in the country where you will be.
Salus mea works with all kinds of SIM cards, therefore the entire phone number with country code needs to be used.
If you are going to type a mobile number with country code, remove the first zero and replace it with + and then the country number.
Example: If you are going to write your Swedish mobile number 0701122334 with the country code, you remove the first zero and type +46.
So it will be: +46 701122334

GPS is only used when an alarm is active. Note that the symbol in the status bar (arrow) does not mean that GPS is enabled, it indicates that location services are enabled. When you share your location by using the Follow Me feature, GPS accuracy is not used to save battery life. Continuous use of GPS can greatly reduce battery life.
When the phone is indoors, it can be difficult for the mobile’s built-in GPS to make contact with the satellites. Using indoor positioning improves the accuracy of your phone’s location when connected to a wireless network, Wi-Fi, or Beacons.
Beacons (iBeacon/Eddystone) work in a similar way to using Wi-Fi (access points). These are communicated through Bluetooth and are battery-powered providing an easy installation. Beacons provide an expanded functionality when positioning indoors, showing which room and floor. Beacon can also be connected to security zones and create more features.
To make it easier to find the alarm location, the property drawing can be linked to the location shown then on the map.
A status field that displays information that can be critical and important to take into account. For example, “Internet access is missing!” which means that alarms are instead sent via SMS. The status bar should provide the user with information about things that are important to know and, in some cases, may require an active action but not necessarily.
