I'm looking for a device to aid someone with memory difficulties.
He has an electric cooker which on some occasions forgets to turn off.
We're considering something which clamps around the supply cable and
detects when current is drawn and so indicates that the cooker is on. This
could then be used to trigger an alarm/reminder after a pre-set time.
I'm aware of the Tunstall temperature extremes sensor but would not want to
rely on this alone.
Has anyone any other suggestions on how to remind someone to turn their
electric cooker off? Considering that you don't really want to rely on them
setting a timer.
The same person forgets to lock their UPVC door when leaving the house.
We've one or two ideas around the use of a pressure mat combined with a PIR
configured so it's known that he's going outside and a reminding message
being played. Any ideas on this front also?
Our OT has placed prominent reminders around the kitchen and by the door
but we're not sure if the messages will always be acted on.
Thanks,
Marcus.
