Amazon’s new subscription service helps monitor Dad remotely, and surprisingly, it’s not as creepy as it sounds.
a $250 fall detection camera that transmits stick-figure animations rather than video to protect privacy.
The one time I got a “No activity” alert — meaning no one had interacted with the assistant in the designated time window — I immediately called their landline. Everyone was okay, but their routine had changed that day. I was impressed that Alexa had detected this anomaly. When it comes to elder care, anomalies indicate changes in routine and are critical indicators of health and well-being. However, there wasn’t a problem, only a change in routine.
Using an Echo Show 10 or other devices with a Zigbee smart home hub would let you set up compatible contact and motion sensors to add more signals, such as when a medicine cabinet was opened, or if there was motion in the bathroom. I wasn’t able to test any of this with the equipment we had, but you would have to scroll through the feed to see this activity as you can’t customize the alerts. I’d like more options for setting up alerts .
In addition to Alexa’s general privacy controls , specific Alexa Together data controls include the option to not have voice recordings saved, Alexa can still provide alerts based on activit,y but the activity won’t appear in the Alexa Together feed. These Remote Assist features aren’t a free-for-all. I only have access to certain controls. This does feel limiting, and features I couldn’t access didn’t make a lot of sense. For example, I couldn’t disable the Amazon Kids controls he’d accidentally turned on, so I had to walk him through it over the phone. What you can and can’t do feels a bit random. The Remote Assist interface is also a little buggy and very slow at times.
