Technology is making everyday life more intuitive — and for those enjoying the freedom of independent living, smart home devices offer both peace of mind and modern convenience. Whether you’re living in a private condominium at Fox Hill or just beginning your search, the right tools can help you stay connected, comfortable and confident in your space.
Here are four smart home devices that are especially helpful for enhancing independence, safety and lifestyle ease.
1. Smart Thermostats
A smart thermostat, like the Nest or ecobee, allows you to adjust the temperature with ease — whether you’re home or away. These devices can learn your routine, optimize energy use and even respond to voice commands. For those in an independent living setting, this means total control over comfort without needing to get up or navigate complex settings.
2. Video Doorbells
Video doorbells (like Ring or Google Nest Hello) offer added security and convenience by letting you see and speak to visitors from your phone, tablet or smart display. Whether you’re expecting a delivery or just want the reassurance, this simple upgrade adds an extra layer of safety and independence — especially in a larger community setting.
3. Voice Assistants
Devices like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant can help manage your day, from setting medication reminders and controlling lights to playing music or checking the weather. Many residents at Fox Hill enjoy using these tools to simplify tasks and stay engaged — all hands-free.
4. Smart Plugs and Lighting
Automating lighting through smart plugs or bulbs helps prevent falls and improves convenience, especially at night. You can program lights to turn on at certain times or use voice or app control to manage them from anywhere in your condo. It’s a small change that makes a big difference in daily living.
