There are many advantages of smart home technology. We love the energy saving, user-friendliness and security monitoring aspects. But perhaps one of the greatest ways automation can be used in homes is through assistive technology. Leveraging the capabilities and existing solutions of smart home technology, we can apply solutions around the home that make life a bit easier for those with disabilities or the elderly. We recently completed a project which involved installing smart home technology for a client who has a disability, so this blog post will explore the solutions we applied to support his everyday living.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For this project, our client needed to be able to easily control the lights, shades, fans, doors and gates in the home. He has difficulty using manual switches, so we installed voice control in the home so he can ask Siri to adjust things around the home. We installed KNX building management<\/a> in the home paired with an ABB Voice Control gateway<\/a>. This ties in with Siri Voice Control and the Apple HomeKit<\/a> app.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
