I have just received an email about this which set me thinking.
Are there any other similar products out there? Has anyone set up any non-intrusive monitoring for older but still active parents?
My dad is now living alone and I am starting to think that something like this may be a good idea. Currently he has broadband so I guess the obvious option could be SmartThings Hub and a plug in socket with the kettle plugged in, and then perhaps an alert every time it is used.
BTW this brings back memories of giving three rings when I arrived anywhere to say I was safe way before mobile phones.
