Voice control of your environment
Voice or ‘Text to Speech’ control of specific items e.g., Using a voice assistant like Amazon Alexa to open/close blinds, turn on/off lights, boil kettle, turn on a fan, turn on TVs or control central heating by voice command alone.
Voice activated communications
Using the ‘Drop In’ function of Amazon Alexa to initiate a voice call with a relative or an emergency contact without needing to dial a number or even have a phone close to hand.
Useful for those that struggle to physically interact with a phone.
Smart home scenes
Smart home scene, that can simultaneously automate numerous actions around the home e.g., ‘Good Morning’ scene that turns on the lights at an appropriate light level, switches on a TV/radio station to a favourite channel, opens blinds/curtains and starts boiling a kettle.
Automating tasks, that are typically manual tasks, to reduce the risks of falls.
Occupancy activated room lighting
Lights in rooms automatically turn on when someone enters or leaves the room depending upon the time of day and whether the room is dark. No more having to reach to switch lights on walls to turn lights on/off.
Internet connected doorbell
Internet connected doorbell / intercom system to easily answer visitors, and remotely open a locked door, from any room in a house without having to physically go to the door. Access can be granted to a property by family members who aren’t in the home e.g., Emergency responders/carers could be given access if resident is unable to get to door.
Fall detection sensors
Fall detection sensors with push notification/email alerts sent to family members or informal care providers. Sensors can be wall/ceiling mounted meaning the person in the home doesn’t need to use a wearable fall alarm device or be able to reach a phone to summon assistance.
Smart door locks
Multipoint door locks with integrated fingerprint scanner, that can be unlocked using just your fingerprint or a smart phone removing the need to carry around door keys.
Reduce the anxiety and safety risks associated with losing the keys to your home.
Automated doors
Automated doors, that can be remotely triggered to open or close, can make the process of entering/leaving a home much simpler for those who struggle to open or close doors. With enhanced proximity sensors for safer operation.
Motorised multipoint door locks
Multipoint door locks that automatically engage into place and secure a door when it is closed
without the need to lift the door handle. The locks also have an inbuilt motor, that can be remotely triggered, allowing the door to be unlocked without having to insert a physical key. This is useful when combined with an automated door opener.
CCTV recognition event activation
CCTV cameras that can recognise elements such as the presence of people or a car on a driveway and even identify specific vehicle number plates.
Detection of element can trigger events e.g., Arrival of a family member’s car can trigger an audible notification in the home that they have arrived and also automatically unlock the entrance door.
Motorised window blinds/curtains
Motorised window blinds/curtains that can be opened as part of a smart home scene or via voice command. No more having to reach for pull cords to manually operate the blind/curtain which can reduce the risks of falls.
Motorised window openers
Motorised window openers, that can be remotely triggered to open or close, allowing the window to be operated without having to reach for handles on the window which can reduce the chance of falls.
Voice activation is also available for those unable to manually operate windows.
