The main usage of this alerter is for very important messages, when you work in team for example and if you want to alert other members remotely. To stop the alert, you need to press the button for some seconds or move the switch in the closed state.
Works with RaspberyPi and Pine64 with RPi.GPIO Python libraries in BCM mode.
