Here are some other projects that could be interesting:
This Sensors uses radar technology.
The new Aqara FP2 has some unique features. Here are my highlights!
Zone detection
You can define zones like bed, desk, sofa etc. and trigger automations. If zone bed is entered, start scene good night
Fall detection
Local and private. Description stands for itself. I am super excited how accurate this will be
One Sensor can create up to 32 Zones in an area of max 40 square meters. Each zone will be exported as an individual motion sensor in e.g. HomeKit. It can handle 3 persons and its position at the same time. It also creates layers so that it can tell you if a person stands, sits or is lying!
There are also countless EU Projects like this one:
But after having an eye on #AmbientAssistedLiving for over 20 years now let me tell you they come and go faster than you think.
In my opinion, Software and Hardware have developed excellent in technology. They are now at a reasonable price and the availability is high.
I think that there is more and a lot of potential to optimize workflows and get the highest efficiency by investing less. Sounds like a marketing junk from a sales guy, right?
Could be. At the same time there are raising threads that actually lead us to be more efficient. So we need to completely rethink and redesign structures of e.g. retail and its supply chains, health care and community support.
Have a look how a local supply chain for a diabetes patient could look like. Supported by IoT and Smart Home technology combined with the magic of Open Source commity driven Software.
