The Coolest Tech for a More Accessible Home!

My apartment has a lot of switches. Some of them are smart switches that I can operate from an app on my phone. I also control the lock of my front door, and it has a digital keypad, which is excellent for first responders who have their own code if I can't get to my phone and unlock the door. Some super cool tech that makes life easier? If you or someone you know has a disability and wants to spruce up their living space, I have just the thing for you.

Check out this excellent article on the New York Times Wirecutter—it's all about the best assistive smart home technology for folks with disabilities. There's something for everyone, from voice-controlled assistants to smart doorbells and even robotic vacuums. I have one.

No more struggling with everyday tasks when you've got these gadgets on your side! So get ready to revolutionize your home life. Trust me, you won't regret it!

I have TP link. smart plugs and bulbs which I can operate by voice via my google assistant. I can also turn things on and off from the app when out and about which helps with my OCD about switching items off.
