Types of home automation

Smart home automation ideas for elderly and disabled individuals
Home automation is an excellent tool for those seeking to maintain their freedom whilst staying alone. There are a couple of smart home products that would benefit older adults or people living with a disability.
Smart doorbell/video intercom
A smart doorbell is a small electronic device with a video camera and microphone connected to your internet. A video doorbell allows you to monitor who is outside your door. Smart doorbells can be activated when the button is pushed or motion censored so you can see who is around. Many feature 2-way talk so you can see and communicate with those outside your home.
Motion sensor lights
An outdoor motion sensor light illuminates dark entrances, driveways or yards. It helps you see who is arriving at your home at night. Plus, they are excellent deterrents for burglars, and great for extra visibility and protection.
Security camera
The unavoidable fact is crime exists. Whilst you might think you live in a safe neighbourhood, one cannot be too sure. Installing a CCTV security camera gives you peace of mind that you or your loved ones are protected.
Smart home installations
Installing smart home features is no longer expensive or challenging as it used to be. Nowadays, smart technology is affordable and more user-friendly than ever before.
