Home Automation open Choices.
Simplified Home Automation System:
In working with clients with low vision I have noticed the scope in the visual field can vary greatly. Home automation in a low risk, low-cost implementation needs to be adjusted accordingly.
I found moving away from screens, can reduce stress. Clients find a sense of relief knowing they can access personal information from modern virtual assistants via verbal replies. Lowering the micro-tasks support worker may need to complete keeping focused on higher level issues. While after hours the client is able to access all the information is a huge benefit.
The use of voice control of a virtual assistant is another innovative way to control smart devices, in your house. The use of voice integration to command the various appliances present at home is known as home automation. Low sighted people who use home automation can operate around the house efficiently without any accident or straining their vision. To use this system, speakers, and microphones are set up around the house according to the client's acoustic environment, verbal and hearing sensitivity.
People with low voice tone may need more speakers, and microphones around the house, especially in bedrooms, lounge, and kitchen, which tend to be used more. It will refrain the user from causing distress to their voice while present in different house areas. We develop this system by creating a heat map of the microphone inputs and speaker volumes in transit throughout the house.
This connected will all voice controls of Curtains, Sprinklers, Door Cameras, Door Security, Item Tags, Heating and Cooling, Garage, Appliances, Lighting and more.
We drive to deliver independence as much as possible.
In addition to the use of virtual assistants, there are other low-risk, low-cost home automation solutions that can benefit people with low vision. For example, using tactile labels or Braille can help people with low vision identify items in their home, such as light switches, appliances, and other objects. This can give them a sense of independence and control over their environment.
Another solution is to use large print labels or displays on devices and appliances. This can make it easier for people with low vision to see and read important information, such as the time, temperature, or settings on a thermostat. This can help them manage their home more easily and confidently.
In some cases, it may be helpful to use color-coded labels or buttons on devices and appliances. For example, using red labels or buttons for stop or emergency functions, and green labels or buttons for go or safe functions, can help people with low vision quickly identify the correct action to take in a given situation.
Overall, it is important to work closely with clients with low vision to understand their individual needs and preferences. By using a combination of home automation solutions, including virtual assistants and tactile, large print, and color-coded labels and displays, we can help people with low vision live more independently and confidently in their own homes.
