Smart home solutions have allowed homeowners to control their homes in totally new ways that were impossible even 20 years ago. This technology can meet the needs and desires of any user but has been especially empowering to disabled homeowners, a demographic that is not usually the focus of user experiences. Smart home solutions have the power to grant comfort, independence, and safety to disabled users across the nation, and our team at Rivas TechGroup is proud to offer customized solutions for homeowners with a wide range of disabilities. 1) A New Level of Independence Caretakers for disabled family members may have the feeling that an independent lifestyle is an impossible dream, but smart home solutions have granted autonomy to many people. Those who may require external help for visual or auditory impairment, physical immobility, or chronic illnesses find self-sufficiency through a variety of smart home devices. Users can control every function of their home, whether a wheelchair user chooses to use an app on a mobile device to turn on the lights, or a blind homeowner uses voice command assistants to change the temperature. Certain apps and devices can be integrated into your smart home system for users who want to track their physical and medical data. Users who have limited mobility or visual impairments prefer operating their homes in a hands-off way, and voice command is an ideal option for straightforward control. In these instances, the voice assistant is the command center of the home and is linked to smart devices via Bluetooth for rapid setup and management. Users with mental disabilities who may struggle with confusing screens find that they can call their family, check the weather, close the shades, or even watch TV with a quick spoken request to grant plenty of independence without needing a family member physically nearby.
