Kitchen and Night Safety for Father-in-law: Smarthome Experiments

I wanted to deploy some smarthome solutions to help my father-in-law who has some physical and cognitive decline. I started with a kitchen safety solution (stove timer), and a night safety solution (lighting). This article explains what I did and why, and how you can do it too.


My Background:

I am a tech professional in San Francisco in the medical device industry. Seeing what my parents are going through in their older age, I am passionate about deploying technologies to make their life more comfortable and independent.
