Did you know that technology can support you in making your life easier at home?
Let us help you turn your home into a Smart Home with the Smart Home Modifications Service. A Smart Home is a dynamic home environment customised to suit your lifestyle and routines using emerging technologies that you can control with just your voice.
We collaborate with you to automate things around your home, and make your life more comfortable, convenient, and give you peace of mind, enhancing your quality of life.
How good would it be to not need to shout messages throughout the home and just let technology do the work for you?
Or instead of physical movement, just using your voice to turn on or off your smart devices?
Do you want to be safer within your home and prevent falls during the night by having automated lights?
Here are some of the many things you can do
with your Smart Home:
- control and automate devices all with your voice around the home, such as lights, TVs or vacuums
- set alarms, medication and appointment reminders
- create a shopping list that is directly sent out to a family member
- ask Google about the time, even at night
- use your voice to find out the latest news, weather, ASX listing or play your favourite music
- find out recipes that match with what you have in your fridge
- send audible messages across rooms
- call family and friends for free
- feel less lonely by having conversations with Google
- plus, so much more!
