Frequently Asked Questions

Fall Detection and Panic Buttons

How Nomo Tags detect falls and how to resolve a Panic Button press. Need help? Call Nomo Smart Care at (844) 888-8854.

How fall detection works

Fall detection on Nomo Smart Care is handled by the Nomo Tags. When a Tag is set up as a pendant and worn on its lanyard, its built-in accelerometer watches for sudden, rapid acceleration followed by an abrupt stop, the motion pattern of a fall.

When it detects one, it sends an alert through the Nomo Hub to the Nomo app so the Care Circle can respond, and emergency services can be triggered if needed.

The sensitivity can't be adjusted.

Fall detection requires an active Essential+ subscription and may not catch every fall, so the Care Recipient should always press the Tag's button if they need help.

General Inquiries and Billing

Does the Care Recipient need a cell phone?

No, the Care Recipient doesn't need a cell phone to set up the system and doesn't need to download the app. During signup, you can add either a cell phone or landline number for the Care Recipient to continue the setup process.

Device Features and Operation

Can I adjust the sensitivity on the fall detection pendant?

Fall detection on Nomo Smart Care is handled by the Nomo Tags. When a Tag is set up as a pendant and worn on its lanyard, its built-in accelerometer watches for sudden, rapid acceleration followed by an abrupt stop, the motion pattern of a fall. When it detects one, it sends an alert through the Nomo Hub to the Nomo app so the Care Circle can respond, and emergency services can be triggered if needed. The sensitivity can't be adjusted. Fall detection requires an active Essential+ subscription and may not catch every fall, so the Care Recipient should always press the Tag's button if they need help. If a pendant sends false alerts during normal movement, check that it isn't loose or rattling when shaken; if it is, contact support for a replacement. Otherwise, factory reset the Tag, remove it from the system, and re-add it, or swap in a different Tag from the kit to see if the problem stops.

Where should I install my Nomo Smart Careâ„¢ Hub, Satellites, and Tags?

  • Nomo Hub: Install centrally in the home, ideally in a heavily used room where your loved one spends most of their day time, positioned at a height that provides a wide view of the room.
  • Nomo Satellites: Plug into a visible, standard wall outlet positioned to detect sound and movement with an unobstructed view of the area to be monitored.
  • Nomo Tags: Place based on the type of care you wish to provide. Can be affixed to any surface in the home or worn as a pendant or carried in a pocket. Tags are the only device designed to be used near water (showers, bathtubs, sinks).

Device Setup and Troubleshooting

How do I factory reset my Nomo Smart Care devices?

For Nomo Hub:

  • Press the big button on top for 10 seconds until the LED ring flashes red quickly
  • Let go when it flashes a few times. The LED will go dark for 2-3 seconds
  • You'll see a blue 'comet' and hear "Please open the Nomo app to get started"
  • After reset, remove and re-add the Hub through the app

For Nomo Satellite:

Hold the button for 10 to 15 seconds until the ring quickly pulses red. Then remove and re-add the Satellite in the app.

For Nomo Tag:

First click the button once: a red flash means the Tag isn't set up yet and is ready to add; a green flash means it's working. If it is connected, an emergency alert has been triggered and will need to be resolved in the app. To reset, press and hold the button; the lights go green, then steady red (keep holding). After about 6-10 seconds the LEDs turn red and flash quickly; let go. The Tag is factory reset and can be added back to the Nomo system. To re-add it, go to Settings > Add & Manage Devices > Tag.

I am having trouble connecting my Nomo Smart Care device to Wi-Fi.

Having trouble connecting Nomo to your Wi-Fi? First, make sure your Nomo Smart Care device is within range of your router. Moving it closer, or away from thick walls, microwaves, and other electronics, often solves the problem. Second - Make sure you are using the correct password. Most passwords are case-sensitive. Please verify you are using the correct password. Third - Nomo only uses a 2.4 GHz network, so if your router broadcasts both make sure the 2.4 GHz is turned on and working. If you are having trouble, you could contact your internet provider to make sure the 2.4 GHz channel is broadcasting. Finally - If the device still won't connect, unplug it and your router for 30 seconds, plug the router back in first, wait for it to fully restart, then power the device back on and try setup again. If none of these steps work, contact Nomo Smart Care support at 844-888-8854 / customerservice@nomosmartcare.com and have your device's serial number ready.
