Smart Home Automation for an Ageing Population

As the population ages, people around the world in all walks of life are thinking about how to best care for their elderly loved ones.

Smart home automation solutions can allow older people to stay at home, creating a home environment that is safe, functional, comfortable and able to adapt to their changing needs. Home automation can facilitate independence for longer, giving family members and caregivers peace of mind as well as improving that individual’s quality of life.

Smart Lights, Blinds and Sensors

As mobility becomes an issue, finding ways to manage the day to day tasks of living at home is essential. This includes basic things like controlling lights, temperature and privacy. Today’s smart home automation systems allow you to raise and lower blinds and turn things like lights and heating and cooling systems on and off at the touch of a button. Better yet, these aspects of the home can be pre-programmed so that you don’t even have to do anything.

Lights can be configured to turn on at a certain time, dim as it gets later and turn off once it’s time for bed. Sun and temperature sensors can automatically raise or lower blinds to maintain a comfortable temperature and the optimal amount of light.

Easy to Control

Smart home automation systems mean no fiddling with buttons, dials, or knobs. If you feel too warm or cold, want to turn a light on or adjust any of the pre-programmed setting, you can do so easily and directly you’re your smartphone.

Alternatively, home automation systems can also be set up to be controlled by voice commands. By speaking in simple phrases, you can manage every aspect of your environment, from light and temperature to your window shades, music and the TV. This makes for truly effortless living, eliminating the potential inconvenience, struggle or hazard of carrying out manual tasks.
