Synopsis

A lamp that is hard to reach. A sensor that turns the light off too soon. A schedule that keeps getting in your way.

Smart Lighting, Plugs & Everyday Automation helps seniors and the people who support them choose useful controls, build understandable routines, and keep everyday tasks manageable. Start with one real household problem and choose a setup that fits the person, the room, and the task.

Use the book's five tests for a good automation and Starter / Condition / Action model to decide what earns a place in your home and explain how each rule works.

Inside, you will learn how to:

  • Compare connected bulbs, smart plugs, wall controls, physical buttons, and simpler alternatives.
  • Check appliance suitability, plug load ratings, and what happens when power returns.
  • Choose schedules, timers, and sunset rules that fit daily life and remain easy to pause.
  • Place motion and presence sensors, adjust timeouts, and check what happens when someone sits still.
  • Find overlapping rules, duplicate schedules, and confusing routines before starting over with a reset.
  • Plan for power, internet, device, and account failures, with clear recovery steps and practical manual alternatives.
  • Fit controls to everyday abilities, agree on household access, and review the information your devices collect.

Turn your choices into a workable plan with 12 practical tools. Use the Smart Lighting Control Map, Smart Plug Safety & Use Card, and Routine Clarity Card, then bring your decisions together in the Everyday Automation Plan and Everyday Automation Review.

Choose up to five useful automation jobs for a 30-day pilot. Decide what to keep, simplify, replace, or remove. Build everyday automation you can understand, control, and maintain.
