FlashBell

FlashBell makes doorbell and motion events perceivable for deaf and hard-of-hearing households.

When someone presses your doorbell, every phone in the household flashes full-screen, vibrates with the pattern you chose for that door, and can flash your Philips Hue lights. Alerts keep repeating until a household member acknowledges — then everyone stands down.

WHAT IT DOES
• Full-screen flash on every phone in the household
• A distinct vibration pattern for each door, so you know which one before you look
• Philips Hue lights flash along
• Alerts repeat until someone acknowledges, then everyone stands down together
• A snapshot of the door, so you can see who is there
• Invite the people you live with — everyone is alerted at once

BUILT FOR ACCESSIBILITY
The flash rate stays below the three-flashes-per-second threshold of WCAG 2.3.1. Gentle mode replaces the full-screen flash with a soft, slow pulse for anyone sensitive to flashing, and turning on Reduce Motion switches to it automatically. Every alert carries colour, shape and text together, never colour alone.

MOTION IS OPTIONAL
Doorbell presses are on by default. Motion alerts stay off until you turn them on, and you can limit them to people only, so the app stays quiet.

COMPATIBILITY
Works with Ring video doorbells and cameras. FlashBell is an independent app from Erbacci LTD and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Ring LLC or Amazon.

IMPORTANT
FlashBell is an accessibility convenience, not an emergency or life-safety notification system. It does not support security alarm systems. Alerts depend on your internet connection and your camera service, so please do not rely on FlashBell in any situation where a missed alert could cause harm.

The subscription is billed through your camera account and begins with a 7-day free trial.
