Residents have the option to play music, operate lights, blinds, appliances and much more, all with simple voice commands via a Google Hub and Environexus Nero Automation platform.

For instance, a command such as ‘I'm home” has the potential to start a sequence of events, such as opening the blinds, turning on entry and kitchen lights and playing a news update – all before even putting your keys down.

To allow for additional safety and support functions the system has options for reporting pop up notifications to the resident's children. This is achieved by fitting the smart home out with sensors and programming them with logic for example the sensors can be used to monitor medication cabinets and can send notifications to remind residents to access it.
