The friently way to look after your loved ones and get peace of mind
The holiday season is coming up and with it a time where you probably spend more time with the family than usual. But what about the rest of the year? Do you worry about your elderly parent or grandparent when you do not have as much time to see them? The frients are here to help.
With a smart home hub and some friently devices, you can track your loved ones’ activity and have peace of mind knowing that they get up in the morning and follow their usual routines.
And if there’s a suspicious lack of activity, you can tell the smart home system to send you a notification and you can get help.
Here are a few friently devices that can help you look after your loved ones:
- Motion Sensors: Monitor activity at home
- Entry Sensors: Be sure your loved ones get home safely
- Smart Plug Minis and Smart Cables: Turn appliances off remotely
- Smart Button: Get a message when a relative needs help
Motion Sensors: Monitor activity at home
By installing Motion Sensors in your elderly relatives’ homes and setting up automations via the smart home hub, you can be reassured that they are moving around in their homes normally and following their routines – without installing intrusive cameras in your loved one’s home.
If there’s a lack of movement, you can set up an automation to notify you, so that you or another relative can check up on your loved one and make sure they are okay.
Entry Sensors: Be sure your loved ones get home safely
Entry Sensors can be placed on doors and windows, but also on fridges or medicine cabinets. This frient doesn’t only let you know when your loved ones have arrived home safely, but it can also tell you how often in the day they open the fridge or medicine cabinet.
Smart Plug Minis and Smart Cables: Turn appliances off remotely
Does your grandma or grandpa sometimes forget to turn off the stove or the iron? Connect their appliances to the smart home via Smart Cables and Smart Plug Minis and you can do it for them.
This way, the appliances won’t start any accidental fires or drive the electricity bill up.
Smart Button: Get a message when they need help
The friently Smart Button can be used to turn lights and appliances on and off. But that’s not it. Via the smart home hub, you can also set an automation to get a message when a Smart Button is pressed.
Place this frient in strategic places in your relative’s home (for example the bedside table or bathroom), and they can press it to let you know they are not feeling well.
Now that’s a frient, right?
