Description

Smart home devices help people control temperature, lights and security using an app or voice commands. They can track heart rate, monitor sleep, and give medication reminders. These devices make life safer and more convenient, especially for people with disabilities.

Smart home devices that enhance independence:

  • Smart Thermostats: Adjust home temperature from anywhere for easy heating or cooling.
  • Smart Locks: Lock or unlock doors using voice or an app, so no need for keys.
  • Voice Assistants: Devices like Alexa, Siri, and Google make tasks like playing music or finding information easier through voice commands.
  • Smart Plugs: Control devices remotely, turning them on or off via app or voice.
  • Smart Doorbells: See and talk to visitors at the door remotely.
