Feel Safer with Amazon Echo
At AnewVista, we want everyone in our community to feel safe and secure. Technology can be a big help with that, and today we're talking about how Amazon Echo devices can add some extra protection to your home. This blog illustrates simple features to protect your home.
Alexa Guard: Like Having an Extra Set of Ears
Ever wished you could keep an ear out for trouble even when you're not home? Alexa Guard is like having a virtual watchdog. When you turn on "Away" mode, your Echo listens for the sounds of smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, or even breaking glass. If it hears something worrying, it sends you a message on your phone so you can check on things right away. It can even make barking noises to scare off unwanted visitors.
Drop In: Check in with Loved Ones in a Snap
If you live alone or worry about someone you care about, the Drop In feature can be a real lifesaver. It lets you instantly talk to another Echo in your home or even connect with a trusted friend or family member's Echo. This is great for older folks or anyone who might need a quick way to get in touch if something happens.
Alexa Together: A Helping Hand for Seniors
We all want to stay independent as we get older, but it's also important to be safe. Alexa Together is like having a little extra help around the house. When combined with a pendant it can detect if someone falls, can keep track of our daily activities, and even has an Urgent Response that connects to emergency help by simply saying "Alexa Help". This will automatically call and text your emergency contact.
Your Privacy Matters
We know it's important to keep your personal information private. Amazon Echo has settings that let you control what it records and even delete your voice history. You're always in charge of your data.
Important Things to Remember
Even with these great features, it's still best to have smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and a home security system.
Take some time to learn about how these features work and make sure your loved ones know how to use them too.
At AnewVista, we're all about building a stronger, safer community. We hope this information helps you use technology to feel more secure in your home. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
