This system is excellent for those with mobility or vision issues, as you can control all features with the sound of your voice.
It is one of the few in-home systems that runs on Bluetooth technology, enabling connection with other smart devices, sensors, and appliances in the home. Using the free Alexa App, caregivers can check the user’s activity, make drop-in calls, monitor connected smart devices, and create customized alerts. Caregivers or subscribers can also set reminders for appointments, medications, and more. Importantly, the system provides 24/7 emergency response via ’s Urgent Response center. Users simply ask Alexa to call for help during an emergency. Alexa Together is also compatible with some third-party fall detection devices for enhanced protection.
