Smart home devices aren\u2019t just for the young and tech-savvy anymore. These next-generation gadgets are easier to use, and they come with tons of accessibility features that are designed to empower seniors to live independently. Here is our list of the best smart home devices that can help the elderly age in place with dignity and grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re thinking of setting up smart home devices for elderly loved ones, you first need to make sure they have a strong, reliable WiFi connection. HelloTech can send a professional technician to test your WiFi and set up any smart home devices<\/a> as soon as today.<\/p>\n\n\n

Smart Speakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using the latest voice-recognition technology, smart speakers allow seniors to control their home using only their voice. There are no buttons to press or apps to open; they can simply talk to their smart speakers to ask questions, set reminders, play music, make phone calls, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, a senior can ask, \u201cAlexa, what\u2019s the weather?\u201d and the smart speaker will dictate the latest weather report out loud. Smart speakers are especially useful for seniors because they provide an easy way to schedule doctor\u2019s appointments, set regular medication reminders, and call for help in emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n

Smart speakers can also be used to control other smart devices around the home. For example, if you have a smart TV, just say, \u201cAlexa, turn off the TV.\u201d With multiple smart devices, you can also set up routines, so when you say \u201cAlexa, good night,\u201d all your smart devices turn off at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Alexa Emergency Assist: Best Smart Home Safety Feature for the Elderly <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Amazon recently added a new feature to all their smart speakers, which helps seniors live at home safely. With a subscription to Emergency Assist<\/a>, all you need to do is ask Alexa to \u201ccall for help,\u201d and you\u2019ll be connected to trained agents who can dispatch police, fire, or ambulance to your location.<\/p>\n\n\n

Smart Fall Detection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Falling down is the leading cause of injury for the elderly, so a smart fall detector could potentially save their life. The Vayyar Care is one of the best smart fall detectors because it uses radar technology, so you don\u2019t have to worry about wearables or invasive cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"smart<\/span>

Since Vayyar Care uses radar, it can detect falls in any light conditions, even in steamy conditions. That makes it perfect for installing in any room, even the bathroom. It\u2019s also one of the few smart devices that work with Alexa and Emergency Assist, enabling responders to be contacted automatically when a senior falls in their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Smart Bulbs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the best smart devices for seniors to start with is a smart light. These work just like regular light bulbs, except you can control them from your smartphone or with voice commands. You can even set up schedules so all your lights turn on at the same time every morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Controlling,Light,Bulb,Temperature,And,Intensity,With,A,Smartphone,Application.\"<\/span><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With smart lights, the elderly won\u2019t have to stumble around in the dark trying to find a light switch. These bulbs allow seniors to turn on all the lights in their home without lifting a finger. Also, if you set up smart motion sensors around the home, they\u2019ll never have to touch a light switch again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Plugs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smart plugs are some of the best devices for the elderly because they give you control over almost any electronic devices in your home. All you have to do is plug a device into a smart plug, and then you\u2019ll be able to turn it on and off with simple voice commands or on a schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Smart<\/span>

Smart plugs can be used to control almost any electronic device with an on\/off switch, like coffee makers, lamps, fans, radios, space heaters, humidifiers, air purifiers, and more. So, a senior can turn off their fan without getting out of bed or start the coffee maker at 6:00 AM every morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Smart Cameras<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A smart security camera can protect seniors from all types of unwanted guests. These devices have motion detectors built-in, so you can receive an alert any time someone steps foot on the property. Most smart cameras can also record a short video any time motion is detected so you can review it later.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Smart<\/span>

Many smart cameras also come with speakers and microphones, so you can communicate with family members or ward off intruders. Some smart cameras will also have floodlights or sirens that automatically go off when motion is detected.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video Doorbell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A video doorbell allows seniors to see who\u2019s at their door and talk to any visitors without getting up. This way, they can easily avoid potential scams or unwanted visitors. Plus, video doorbells are a great way to deter porch pirates and other criminals.<\/p>\n\n\n

For any seniors that are hard of hearing, a video doorbell can also be linked to a digital chime, which you can add to any room, so they can actually hear when someone rings the doorbell. Video doorbells also have motion detectors built-in, so you will receive notifications when someone approaches the door. You can also get 24\/7 professional monitoring for a video doorbell, but it will require you to pay a monthly subscription fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart Locks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For anyone who forgets to lock their door at night, a smart lock could provide the security they need. Depending on which model you get, smart locks allow you to open the front door using voice commands, a smartphone, a key code, an Apple Watch, or you can just keep using your existing keys.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Smart locks can tell you when the door has been left open for long periods of time. They also record every time the door opens and closes, with some models even showing you who is coming and going. You can also create digital keys for nurses, dog walkers, and any other visitors, giving them access to open the door during set time ranges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GPS Trackers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For seniors who often lose things, a Bluetooth tracker can save them a lot of time. These little devices can be attached to keys, bags, wallets, remote controls, and almost anything else that\u2019s prone to get lost. Then, you can use your smartphone or voice commands to make the tracker beep until you find it.<\/p>\n\n\n

Digital Picture Frames<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A digital picture frame is one of the best smart home devices for the elderly because it lets them keep up with all their family members in real time. Unlike a regular picture frame, these smart devices allow you to display multiple photos in a slideshow, and your family members can upload new pictures from their smartphones.<\/p>\n\n\n
