Frequently Asked Questions about NDIS Home Automation
Simply put, disability home automation refers to all modifications that allow people with disability to control different functions around the home remotely. This reduces or removes the need for physical interaction, significantly reducing barriers many people with disability face.
Smart home automation is a subcategory of disability home automation that uses networked appliances and devices. Smart home technology uses Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and internet-enabled home devices to automate and schedule many everyday tasks. This can even include setting up smartphones or tablet controls.
Home automation covers a wide variety of different modifications and systems that help reduce physical barriers to everyday tasks. The truth is the contents of your home automation package will depend on your specific needs. Depending on your needs, it may include a mix of:
- Smart home technology
- Motorised and automated solutions
- Automated sensors
- Security and communication systems
These can be installed throughout the home, including in bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and more. They can be used to effectively automate many everyday activities from ranging from automated temperature control, to self-opening and closing curtains.
Smart home installation uses networked to automate, schedule, and remotely control different home functions. This can include:
- Lighting
- Heating and cooling
- Appliances
- Blinds and curtains
What distinguishes this from home automation is the usage of technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and more. This allows different functions and appliances to link to a smartphone, tablet, or other networked device, opening the door to each of these to be managed from a single device, and even allows for voice-control.
Our NDIS builders in Melbourne combine a wide range of off-the-shelf solutions as well as systems tailored for the needs of people with disability depending on your unique requirements.
Yes. Many of the NDIS smart home automation solutions we offer are compatible with voice control!
Smart home modifications are controlled through devices such as smartphones, tablets, or a dedicated smart home hub. With voice-control available on many of these devices, NDIS participants can control many home functions using their voice, significantly reducing barriers.
Whether electrical work is required will depend on the modifications you’ve received funding for. Many home automation modifications will be able to use your home’s existing electrical wiring without any further electrical work required – for example, smart lighting can be fitted into existing sockets.
In other cases, our NDIS builders may need to extend your wiring. This is most common in when adding automation in areas where power cannot be supplied through existing means. For example, most homes don’t have power sockets or electrical wiring in pantries, so any attempts to automatic them with hydraulics may require new wiring to be installed.
