Kuando® Busylight UC Omega (15410) - Presence Light and Ringer - Busy Light for The Office - Free Busylight Software for Most UC Platforms and Softphones

Works well. Cut down on people sneaking up at the cubes at work and scaring/interrupting. It’s wired so that’s a limitation but worked well in cubicles. At least if people are bugging you you can point to the red light and maybe they will go away. Easy to set up. Not too bright but clearly visible even in daylight. Best price of the ones I looked at and I am happy.

These are fantastic. I had some minor difficulty getting it set up - you have to install multiple pieces of software in a particular order and they all run at all times. You can adjust the light manually via one program, but I recommend never touching the manual setting as it will override all of the automatic stuff. The less you mess with it, the better it works. I kind of wish they would simplify it down to a single package. Also, it turns red anytime any software accesses the camera or microphone. I use things like OBS and video editors like Davinci Resolve and these packages turn the light red even when I am not recording. These have sounds that are enabled by default and can be quite loud. For example if a scheduled meeting is starting, they can ring loudly. We went for 5 years doign remote work without a light, but I got fed up with interruptions and bought several of these fo rthe household members who do remote work and it has made a dramatic difference in how we operate. No one needs to shout or signal that we're ina call anymore. We have one mounted outside a bedroom door (these have sticky foam included for this purpose) so no more knocking on doors during calls or peeking in. one of those things we never knew how badly we needed it until after we had it

I work from home at least 3 business days per week. My office is the converted dining room - so informing my family when I am on a video call can help prevent embarrassing moments. It also lets my family know when I am "trapped" in a meeting, can't get a drink, or have other needs. For these purposes, this product has worked excellent. If you are tech-savvy, this device works well with macro-boards like the Stream Deck from Elgato or other things like IFTT. It has integrations to things like Microsoft Teams - but I have disabled that an prefer to use it through the "Website" controls on my Stream Deck. If you are also going to use the HTTP Get commands, one tip I can give you is to check the "GET request in background." This prevents your browser from opening everytime you press the key.

This is a great improvement over a manual button option. Others have posted about it not working properly, but it may be due to user error in setup, which is understandable if you are trying to get it to work with multiple apps on your computer. 4 stars simply due to some complexity in getting it setup with the software, and some trial and error. Currently working great! Size is another thing that's hard to tell: it is tiny, less than 2 inches tall, but for cluttered desks or just considering what size it needs to be to be seen, it's fine. I use it for Zoom and Microsoft Teams to show my kids and wife when I'm actually on a call (flashing red) vs working (green). The key I've found for Zoom and MS Teams together is the following. MS Teams must be the priority app with Zoom secondary: -download and install the main kuando hub app plus the individual zoom and teams add on apps (several apps are supported for Windows or Mac) -Critical: In Teams, you need to go to the settings > general > Register teams add the chat app for Microsoft 365 (even though I use Zoom for chats at my company). Note the Teams add-on app has a reminder for this too. -ensure this was applied by closing teams, closing outlook and other MS apps, then open teams again and check the above setting is still checked. Restarting you computer may help to try again. -run the Priority Assistant setup wizard in the kuando hub app under Platform Priorities tab: -1 set MS teams as the Main Presence Status app: I haven't gotten things to work any other way -2 alerts and notifications can be all 3 apps or whatever you choose -3 set Zoom as the secondary on the phone/in a meeting status app -4 the last step asks about overriding presence manually, which I selected the middle option to allow manual overrule of main presence (set with buttons in the kuando hub app) -ensure all the busy light apps including the kuando hub, Zoom and Teams add on apps are running when you start your computer every time (Windows 11 can set startup apps through the task manager) or search and open from your start menu as a temporary fix Overall it may take some trial and error, so plan for some minor frustration, but totally worth it after you get it right and don't need to think about it.

I'm so happy with this product. Now my staff knows when I'm on a call or meeting. Also their customer service is superb! They handled my issue promptly and professionally.

It's my fault for not looking at the specs but this light is actually TINY. Wanted to use it as a large signal for others in the office to not speak loudly around me when I'm on a call and this is the size of a tic-tac box, the men in my office don't stand a chance of seeing this tiny thing. Also requires software to be downloaded onto the computer to work, it doesn't automatically register you're taking calls if you plug it into your phone without the software. When you have a computer locked down by IT of downloading software, this won't work for you.

The light is nice, but admin privileges are required to install the software on Windows. Something I don't have on my corporate laptop. I managed to get it to work by letting AI develop a python application, but for most users of a company computer; it would not make sense to buy this light.

Great for the home office. Family members can see that I'm in a meeting before interrupting me. It works well with Microsoft Outlook; free/busy/in meeting/presenting all have distinctive colors. It also uses sound to notify you that a meeting is about to start - handy if I'm away from my desk.

This little unit is a great visual to be able to quickly see if other colleagues are on the phone, in do not disturb mode or to see and hear from across the office that your phone is ringing. I liked this so much that I purchased one for home so people know if I'm in a call or not and to hear when I have an incoming call so I don't have to wear my headset all of the time. Love how many major systems this device works with and that the development is ongoing to take advantage of new features in these systems.

I bought this because, despite my office door being closed, I was constantly interrupted during meetings. I use earbuds, so it's not always obvious that I’m in a meeting. The red light has been effective in stopping people from peering into my office window when my door is closed to check if I’m busy. I also really like that it turns blue and gives me an audible notification when someone starts a Teams meeting - this has saved me a few times when I didn’t see the meeting reminder and might have ended up being late.

Ottima luminosità, interfaccia con teams buona, plug and play confermato

El hardware en sí no es malo, lo único que se le puede criticar es que no tiene conectividad inalámbrica y no se puede reemplazar el cable USB A con el que viene si se llega a romper (de poder se puede, desoldándolo, pero no es fácilmente reemplazable por el usuario). El software es terriblemente malo. En vez de haber un solo programa con plugins para Teams, Slack, Zoom, etc. hay que descargar e instalar software individualmente para cada uno de esas plataformas. Además, exige permisos de administrador (lo que complica las cosas para los que no son administradores de la computadora). Por otro lado, al menos el software para Teams anda muy mal. No reconoce reuniones ad-hoc y a veces queda mostrando un estado incorrecto (por ejemplo, muestra el color verde cuando uno está en una llamada, o rojo cuando uno está libre).

Einfache Installation via Plug & Play. Hochwertig verarbeitet, verschiedene Farben inkl. Töne möglich. Ansteuerung via API funktioniert problemlos.
