Watching over our seniors with connected devices

Maintaining a link with our seniors who live alone or in isolated housing is not always easy, especially due to the physical distance. However, thanks to increasingly easy to access technology, it is now possible for seniors to be independent at home. We explain how with these few examples.

Electric roller shutters and smart lights to no longer tire them out

Opening and closing the shutters every day can soon become an ordeal for the elderly: it requires a real effort and mobility. Why start the day exhausting yourself when there are much more practical solutions? This chore is easily avoided with the centralised closing and opening of electric shutters!

Turning the light on or off can also prove to be a difficulty, even a danger, for people with reduced mobility, especially when the floor switch is stuck behind a piece of furniture, for example. With a simple wall-mounted control point, it is possible to turn off all the lights and close all the electric shutters in the evening before going to bed quickly and comfortably. Simple and safe.

Another possibility for people of more restricted mobility is the use of a voice assistant to command the opening or closing of electric roller shutters by voice. TaHoma is compatible with the main smart speakers on the market, and it is sufficient for example to say “OK Google, open the bedroom roller shutters”. With this solution, it is no longer necessary to move around or look for the remote control to open the shutters when waking up.

Finally, another advantage for relatives is the possibility of checking remotely whether the shutters have been opened or closed. Even from a distance, you can have peace of mind.

The smart lock with connected motorisation facilitates access to the home

Choosing a smart door lock with connected motorisation offers security combined with peace of mind.  When going to open the door, a senior may take longer to get up or someone with reduced mobility can have an increased risk of falling. Thus, to limit the senior's movement, all you need to do is provide an access code which allows the nurse, home help or relatives to enter the home simply for everyday visits.

Finally, it is possible for loved ones to remotely check the comings and goings in order to ensure that everything is normal, that the door is properly locked, or that the caregiver has been in the home or that a meal has been delivered.

A welcome comfort to attain simple reassurance on a daily basis.

Going further

If you want to offer even more comfort with solutions for seniors, with TaHoma you can programme the opening and closing of the smart shutters according to the times of your choice. Thus, there is no need for any controls, the shutters open and close automatically. Combine that with motion detectors for turning on lights at night, and you won't have to worry about your loved ones, day or night.
