This feature allows you as an app user to remotely place your Relay in the chat or channel of your choosing. This helps to ensure that you're able to communicate with your Relay regardless of the chat or channel it is on.

You may find that the Relay user is not receiving your messages live when attempting to contact them from their Direct Chat; this is due to them being on a different chat or channel than your phone's Direct Chat at the time. The Summon feature will make it so that you are able to pull the Relay into your Direct chat, ensuring that your messages are being played live as opposed to being saved as a Missed Message to be played back later.

You also now have the ability to view what chat or channel your Relay is currently using on this page. Account Owners and Admins can also summon the Relay to other enabled Group Chats and Channels by swiping over to and selecting Manage User on this page and then selecting Channels on the next page. If the Relay user has a hard time changing chats or channels, you can now change it for them.

This control grants you the ability to essentially ring your Relay, causing it to play an audible tone, vibrate, and flash the LED ring. This will allow you to garner the attention of a Relay user if they have set the Relay down or if you feel as though they are not hearing your messages.

Though a Relay user having the Relay on them at all times would be ideal, we know that will not always be the case. Just like with your phone, the Relay at times will be set down, and unless it started ringing or vibrating you wouldn't know that someone was attempting to contact you. The same principle applies here, you can ring your Relay after sending a message if you don't receive a reply from the user or ring it before sending a message to ensure that the Relay user is aware that you're attempting to communicate with them.

If your Relay has been lost inside or outside of your home you now have a way to help you find it as long as the Relay is online. If you misplaced the Relay inside of your home use the "Ring" option to send an audible ring and vibration to your Relay to help you track it down.

If your Relay is lost outside of your home and still has a connection, use the "Ring and Locate" option to ring the Relay and pull its current location. Once you know where your Relay is located use the Ring option to help you find it in that area. This option is also useful if you're not getting a response from your Relay and want to confirm that it's located where it should be.

Accessible to Account Owners and Account Admins only.

This control allows you to essentially lock down the Relay to where it will not become a distraction for the user at inopportune times.

When this control is enabled, the Relay will be unable to send, receive, or play messages, change channels, play any audible tones, or respond to any normal button presses (SOS is still applicable). However, the Relay will still report its location and be online if it has a connection.

If you find that the Relay user is prone to accidental button presses throughout the day you can simply enable Do Not Disturb to ensure that does not happen. This can also help ensure that your Relay stays on your Direct Chat throughout the day, by enabling Do Not Disturb and then summoning the Relay to your chat, that way, once you disable Do Not Disturb they'll already be on your chat.

If you find that your main purpose for Relay is its location-tracking capabilities as opposed to the communication aspect of the service, enabling Do Not Disturb will lock down the communication portion of the service, essentially turning the Relay into just a tracker.

Send Missed Messages to your Relay from its Direct Chat while in this state for them to playback later. All Direct Chat Messages sent to the Relay will be saved as Missed Messages that the Relay user can listen to once Do Not Disturb Mode is disabled.
