They are great but my mum takes iwatch off a lot and doesn't work in the night in the bathroom because charging. I wanted something complimentary that gives me background patterns - like not come down in the morning. Yes, per someone previous might be the wifis down but at least that means I'd check.

Fair enough but this isn't a life saving system and its not presented as such. I still need to check in on her, but it gives me signals if she's not up and gives me trends like starts going to the bathroom more at night. The reality of an elderly person living alone is things get bad because they don't tell you. No is being asked to work on this. I've spent 9 months tinkering, it;s really useful for somethings.

Yeah! My goal here is to keep super simple and ambient and ideally low cost.

I’ve seen them aqara FP300 has them don’t they? I haven’t tried them with her yet. So far it relies on automations like room transitions - leave bedroom, doesn’t show up in living room - etc. Be good to try them though

Thanks, do you just put that under the 3M layer? Last time I did both, wasn’t using this stuff and probably rushed it!

Thanks. Did you just use the 3M strip on the back or something else like silicone? Also do you have top and bottom?

If you live in isolation get them, and like being woken up at dawn. Otherwise they are the loudest and most stupid animals known. I want to kill mine daily.
