Ageing well at home: preserving seniors’ independence

People aged 65 and over now represent almost one in five of the UK population¹, and this share continues to grow. Today, 8 in 10 of them want to stay in their own home for as long as possible². 

This desire is important when planning home improvements, whether for yourself or your loved ones. As people age, some everyday actions become more difficult. Closing shutters in the evening or getting up at night without risking a fall may seem simple, but they represent daily challenges for seniors.

En In the UK, around 2.5 million people over the age of 65 suffer at least one fall each year — the vast majority of them living at home³. Faced with this type of accident, staying at home can be compromised and loss of independence may seem inevitable.

However, a well-equipped home with a high-performance home automation system changes everything, making daily life easier for seniors and their caregivers. There is no need to redo everything. A few home automation devices tailored to seniors are enough to simplify daily life, improve safety and restore peace of mind.

Our equipment for seniors’ comfort and safety

Getting up at night without fear

Three o’clock in the morning, your loved one wakes up and the hallway is dark. Searching for the switch by touch is precisely where the risk of falling begins.

Placed next to the bed, the Tyxia connected switch turns on the hallway lights with a single click. With one button, lights will turn on from the bedroom to the bathroom for safe movement. Our products also feature voice control, allowing your loved one to control lighting by voice via Google Home or Alexa.

Easily turning your home into a connected home

You may think that smart homes are reserved for recent, high-tech houses already equipped? Think again: connected homes are accessible to everyone! With only a micromodule installed behind an existing switch, you can make your roller shutters or lighting remotely controllable. This is known as retrofit! You can connect what you already have and adapt the motorisation of your devices without major work.

Staying present even from a distance  

Home security is not limited to falls. Your loved one is expecting a visitor but you are not there? Delta Dore connected cameras let you check in real time who is ringing the doorbell, from your smartphone. A simple and reassuring check.

For the prevention of household risks, the Tyxal+ Hub, combined with Delta Dore technical detectors, sends you a notification directly to the Delta Dore app in the event of fire, water leak or power outage.
And in case of intrusion, the sirens in your alarm system trigger automatically. You stay informed in real time. Mental load is reduced thanks to the smart home. Your loved one feels supported, even when you are far away.

Opening and closing shutters effortlessly  

Is your loved one equipped with heavy or hard-to-reach roller shutters? Tymoov motors automate opening and closing according to your schedule to make daily life easier. You set it once, and you no longer need to think about it. You can control it remotely via the Delta Dore app and schedule times if you are away.

And if motors are already installed, a simple micromodule is enough to connect them without major work.

Controlling the home from your smartphone

What if a single place was enough to manage shutters, turn on lights and set the temperature? Your smartphone alone is enough to control your connected devices via the Delta Dore app. The interface is designed to be simple and intuitive, whatever your level of digital skills.

Not comfortable with a smartphone? No problem. Each device comes with its own physical control. A room unit for heating, a keypad for the alarm, a remote control for shutters. Your loved one stays in control from home, without a screen. 

As a caregiver, you can access your loved one’s home via home sharing in the app. You can check their equipment, receive alerts and stay connected remotely. 

The Tydom Pro home automation box is installed directly in the electrical panel, remaining invisible and discreet. It easily centralises all connected devices without

Helping a loved one with home automation

Are you supporting a loved one who is losing autonomy ? Like 7 million people in the UK, you play an essential role oftently exhausting and largely underestimated. Connected homes do not replace this irreplaceable human presence, but they can complete it. 

The app provides home sharing options. You can view equipment remotely, receive alerts in real time and stay connected without being intrusive

The connected alarm alerts you in case of intrusion. Smoke and water leak detectors send a notification directly to your smartphone. Connected lighting indicates whether your loved one got up during the night. All of these warnings and alerts help reduce caregivers’ mental load.
