Automatic bells, set up in one afternoon.

No. The bell creates its own WiFi hotspot that you connect to during setup to set the schedule — no building network and no internet needed. Connecting the bell to your building WiFi afterward is optional for a single bell (it keeps the clock set automatically) and required only when you run multiple bells from a Controller. WiBell is 2.4 GHz only — 5 GHz networks are not supported.

No. WiBell is 2.4 GHz only — a 5 GHz network will not appear in the setup list at all. This is the one thing worth checking before you order. Most routers broadcast both bands, so make sure the 2.4 GHz band is switched on. A single bell needs no building network at all (setup runs on the bell's own 2.4 GHz hotspot), but running several bells from a Controller does need 2.4 GHz on your building WiFi.

No. Your phone or computer is only used once, during setup, to set the schedule and the time. After that you disconnect — the bell stores your schedule in its own memory and rings on its own built-in clock. Close the browser, leave the building, or turn your phone off completely, and the bell keeps ringing on schedule. A single bell needs nothing but power from then on; with a Controller, the bells stay on your 2.4 GHz WiFi so the Controller can push schedule changes — but they keep ringing their saved schedule even if the network drops.

No. WiBell is a one-time purchase. You own the hardware, you own the data, no recurring fees, ever.

About 5 minutes. Mount the bracket, plug in the bell, connect to its 2.4 GHz WiFi hotspot from your phone, set your schedule. No electrician, no IT department, no special tools.

85 dB measured at 10 feet. Loud enough for a school hallway, factory floor, or warehouse. For larger buildings, add multiple bells — one bell covers up to 8,000 sq ft.

The bell stores your schedule in its own memory, and a built-in CR2032 backup battery keeps the clock running through the outage. When power returns, the bell resumes ringing on schedule — no manual resync needed. Even if the backup battery ever dies, your schedules stay saved; only the clock needs setting again.

Yes. Add a WiBell Controller: the Controller and every bell join your building's local 2.4 GHz WiFi network and talk to each other over it — there is no radio pairing to set up, and no internet needed. Set the schedule once on the Controller and push it to every bell — up to 32 — with one click, optionally split into groups (production floor, office, etc.) with different schedules.

There's no direct radio link — the Controller and every bell join your local 2.4 GHz WiFi network, so the range is your WiFi coverage: anywhere your WiFi reaches, a bell can go. Bells in a separate building work from the same Controller as long as that building is on the same network; a building with its own separate network needs a WiFi extension or its own Controller. No internet required either way.

No — WiBell is a complete replacement bell, not a retrofit controller.

Yes. Every schedule picks its own days of the week, and alternate day tabs cover exception days — late starts, assembly days, half days — without touching your normal week. With a Controller you can run an alternate schedule for just one group for the day; it turns itself off automatically at day's end. Up to 500 scheduled events per bell, and schedules survive power outages.
