Hi all,

I have had an enquiry about supporting a particularly difficult older adult who occasionally leaves the front door open. Getting co-operation is extremely difficult, so the members of this household need something that will alert them if the door is open > 5 minutes. They do not want something that will alert as soon as the front door opens as the client is still able to do jobs around the house like taking out the rubbish and sweeping up, etc. They are not ‘wandering’.

An SMS or a text alert would be even better!

Cheers,

Aidan.
