Why we know this works!
We love these smart plugs because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we trace so many nighttime falls back to the same trip: crossing a dark room to reach a lamp switch. Are smart plugs worth it for older adults? Yes, when getting up to find a switch is the risky part of the task. Plug in a lamp, TV, or coffee maker, pair with Amazon Alexa or Google Home, and turning things on or off becomes a simple voice command like Alexa, turn off the living room TV. This two-pack fits any standard outlet and works in the bedroom, kitchen, or living room.
These are especially useful for people with low vision, Parkinson's, arthritis in the hands, or anyone recovering from a stroke who moves slowly in the dark. You will need home Wi-Fi and a smart speaker set up first, and if you want to control several devices grouped in one spot, the Smart Power Strip is the better buy.
