There are many safety risks when older people are alone at home or living alone. For example, forgetting to lock the door when going out, or accidentally falling over.

Lock+Hub Mini

Due to the older among us (and well, some of us anyway) we sometimes find that our memory is poorer than it used to be. Which usually leads to forgetting to lock/close the door when we go out. However, if you have SwitchBot Lock & Hub Mini, as long as your door is not closed/locked, you’ll be able to receive a notification via our app that will be able to tell you to close the door.

Make sure daily routines are OK.

This is great for checking up on seniors that get up at a fixed time every morning, but suddenly may not get up on a certain day.
