It's night and it's an emergency! The Joker is loose! Gotham needs Batman. But there isn't a cloud in the sky. How does Commissioner Gordon summon him?

Assuming he doesn't have a red phone line directly to Batman like in the old TV show, obviously.

Batman actually maintains a remote link to the light itself. As soon as the switch is flipped, he gets notified.
Cmon, his lair is a CAVE. how the fuck is he gonna see the signal anyway?? Does he maintain 24/7 surveillance of the entire sky?

He is Batman...

Unironically, probably yes. Like half of all major comic book threats all come from outer space.
Alfred comes down the stairs and tells him
The batsignal has often been described as a way to instill fear in the criminals, not as the most effective way to summon Batman per se. Certainly Batman doesn't just watch fhe sky all night long to wait for the batsignal to come up, he has ways to get notified without seeing it.
I love the idea that there is IFTTT in the Batman universe! IFTTB, if you will. Web hooks ftw lol.
