The owners of a beautifully built solid family home were looking for an assistive technology solution to assist with limited hand and arm movement. Their main interest was for the solution to assist with turning lights on and off, controlling the TV and multi-room music system.
A key factor was to provide a new LED strip installed under cabinetry that would come on as they
walked into their ensuite.

We Assess
During our assessment phase we discovered our client had difficulty turning on lights using the wall
switches, controlling his TV and music system with the standard manufacturers remote controls.
Specify
Using the information gathered during our assessment we specified an Assistive Technology solution
that kept the standard method of controlling lighting and Audio-Visual control. The solution
integrated with a single user interface on the clients iPhone as well as Voice Control. A proposal was
then submitted for approval.

cabinetry in the ensuite. A sensor was used to automatically activate the LED strip whenever a
person enters the room.
All lighting is controlled using wall switches, smart devices and Voice Control. The TV and multi-room
