How to support a loved one with a disability without invading their privacy

Everyone deserves to feel safe and comfortable in their own home. For some people, including those living with a disability, small everyday tasks can become tiring or hard to reach.

Whether it’s turning on the lights, switching off the coffee machine, or checking for a leak under the sink, smart devices from frient can make daily life easier while keeping control in the hands of the user.

No moving around in the dark

With a Motion Sensor Pro from frient, lights turn on as someone enters a room and switch off again after they leave. The built-in light sensor checks the room first, so it only activates in low light.

Place the sensor in the hallway, bedroom, bathroom, or at the top and bottom of stairs to create a lit path at night. Set a soft nighttime scene so the light is bright enough to see but gentle on sleepy eyes.

Less fumbling for switches, less time in the dark, and a lower risk of trips and falls.

A small sign the day has started

Sometimes it’s the little routines that bring peace of mind. If your loved one starts the day with a cup of coffee, connect the coffee machine to a Smart Plug Mini 2.

You can see when it’s been switched on, which gives gentle reassurance to family members or caregivers without the need for cameras or surveillance.

Stop water leaks before they cause damage

If water leaks appear, early warning matters. A Water Leak Detector from frient sends an alert right away when it senses water, which helps prevent damage and keeps the home safe.

Place it under sinks, near washing machines, or anywhere else a leak might start.

With just a couple of frient devices, you can have peace of mind that daily life runs as expected while privacy is respected.
