This really sounds like a _you_ problem and not something you need hardware to fix.

You can already enable silence/focus time bypass modes for apps like PagerDuty and such…

If you can’t develop some sense of responsibility to check if you’re on-call, frankly you have no business being in an on-call role.

No hardware will make you or your engineers more diligent. The only reason pagers made more sense than phones is/was because of protocol reasons NOT because it’s some separate device.

Yup, this is absolutely a "me" problem. Life just gets in the way. I'm on call, the kids ask to go to the pool, I leave my phone in the locker forgetting that I'm on-call. I visit friends, forget to bring my laptop etc.

I realize it's a "me" problem and therefore I'm looking for a solution. Others in the company have the same problem. That said: This is my very own company and I have a great sense of responsibility but I also have a shit-ton of other things in my head and I'm not the only one with this issue here.

The silence etc. bypass doesn't always work (I commented in another thread).

Wow, stackoverflow vibes here.
