What is it a Smart Home?
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.
Here are some of the many things you can do with your Smart Home:
What does the Smart Home Kit include?
Google Nest Max (controlling system)
Google Nest Mini (smart speaker)
Chromecast (TV equipment)

motion sensors
Additionally, you will receive up to two visits from our friendly Technical Support Officer to ensure your devices are set up and you feel comfortable with the new technologies.
Who’s eligible & what’s the cost?
- to be eligible, you must own a smartphone or tablet device as well have internet connection at home.

Hear what clients have to say about Feros Care’s Smart Home Modification service.
Graham was a little nervous at first but finds them very easy and effective. Plus, Cameron, the Feros Technical Support Coordinator, was very easy to understand and explained everything well.
We think the smart technology is fantastic and would recommend others look into it, as it’s made a big difference for us.
Faye & Graham
When my son was recently here, I haven’t had much in the fridge. We were asking Google’ Hey Google, can you tell us a dish we can make with cabbage, bacon, sour cream, asparagus, and cheese?’ and Google came up with a recipe about Cream Cabbage, it was delicious.

Google Smart Home has made everything easier. I progressed from looking for answers in libraries, over going through Wikipedia, to now sitting in my armchair and let Google tell me how to make cocktails.
Nanette & Glenn
I am much more independent. Now, if there is something I want, I put it out on broadcast. I am also getting more comfortable using [my son] as my carer.
Eunice
I use it every single day! I particularly like controlling the lights and devices with just my voice, but I also use Google Smart Home to build my shopping list, which gets sent to my daughter’s phone. She then just drops off everything I ordered.
