TELL ME ABOUT THE HARDWARE
The App forms part of a combined hardware/app solution. The hardware called HouseMate is controlled using a built-in switch or by connecting an external switch or joystick. It can also be interfaced to R-Net DX and Curtis wheelchair control systems. It is powered by a rechargeable Li-Ion battery and contains a powerful omni-directional InfraRed transmitter and a Bluetooth radio module.

The hardware communicates the switch presses to the app on the smart-phone. The app uses intuitive scanning techniques and a rich graphical interface to present different options to the user.

HouseMate can also be fitted with a radio frequency Nurse call pager. This alarm can be activated at anytime by pressing the switch for a defined period of time.
