Ambient Assisted Living with Loxone
What is AAL?
Ambient Assisted Living or AAL for short refers to technical solutions that support people with disabilities on their way to a more independent life or enable a self-determined life in old age.
Advantages
for residents
Being able to lead a self-determined life in old age – that is the greatest wish of many people.
Home and building automation can contribute to making this dream a reality, through numerous functions that complete important tasks in the background and protectively watch over people.
This not only benefits the residents, but also brings a sense of security that extends to their relatives, knowing that their loved ones are taken care of.
The technical support can be individually adapted to the specific needs of individuals.
Advantages
for investors
There are various advantages for facilities that have specialized in senior-friendly living.
The technical equipment and the high level of living comfort increase the value of the property.
The fact that people can stay at home even in old age ensures long rental periods, thus increases planning security.
Nursing staff are rare and their deployment expensive. Through the use of intelligent technology, the number of care hours can be reduced. This ensures greater efficiency in the area of operating costs.
Ambient Assisted Living
Top 12 advantages of independent living in old age
Fall Control
Presence and unusual situations such as falls can be detected with the help of presence detectors and door contacts.
Emergency Button
In an emergency, calling the ambulance must be as easy as possible. The Button Air and the Wrist Button Air are always accessible thanks to radio technology.
Reminders
A voice message can be played every day at a predefined time to remind you to take your medication regularly.
Access for the Ambulance
In an emergency, quick access can be guaranteed by flashing lights and automatic opening of the front door.
Recognize Changes
Loxone can help to recognize atypical behavior and inform relatives or caretakers about it.
Prevent certain hazards
With Loxone, critical household appliances in the circuit can be monitored and automatically deactivated if necessary.
Night Light Function
To prevent falls, a night light is switched on when leaving the bed to illuminate the way to the bathroom and back.
All-round Protection
Smoke and presence detectors keep an eye on the building. In the event of a break-in or smoke, an alarm is triggered and relatives are informed.
Locked Out?
Relatives can open the door remotely or generate access codes for neighbors, rescue services, etc.
Automatic
Lighting
In order to save energy costs and ensure security, the light is switched on automatically when there is movement and switched off when no one is present.
Healthy Air Quality
Measuring and controlling humidity and CO2 increases air quality and reduces the risk of contracting diseases such as COVID-19.
Feel-good
Temperature
The desired temperature can be predefined for each room at any time. For example, the bathroom is heated early in the morning and in the evening.

AAL via voice
control by Siri
The integration of Loxone into Apple HomeKit also opens up new possibilities for realizing an alarm or a call for help.
In an emergency, all you have to do is give the voice command to the Apple HomePod, for example, and a defined alarm chain will be triggered. You can define the voice command to trigger the alarm yourself, for example “Hey Siri, alarm chain on”.
You can find further information on voice control with Siri in connection with Ambient Assisted Living and the specific configuration in this Loxone Explained video.
AAL Package »Loxone Care«
With the use of just a few sensors, numerous active and passive security mechanisms can be implemented – including an alarm chain via phone call, push notification and e-mail.
Active: Fall Detection
In an emergency, an emergency button, such as the Button Air or the Wrist Button Air, can call help quickly and easily. If this is not possible, the Loxone system recognizes a fall and automatically calls for help.
Passive: Analysis of behavior
and certain routines
Analyzing the daily routine, behavior or certain routines can be an important help – and save lives in an emergency. Depending on the urgency, anomalies can be reported to the relevant people, for example by phone or email. Below you will find some practical examples.
daily routine
Habits determine our daily routine. If a dog lives in the household, it makes sense, for example, to analyze the exits. If these have not been opened by 10 a.m., a care alarm is triggered.
Monitoring
Kitchen, bathroom, living room – usually, we visit different rooms during the day. If one or more rooms have not been visited by 10 a.m., a notification will be sent.
Check
If the medicine cabinet door has not been opened at least three times a day, the relevant people will be informed. This ensures that important medication is taken regularly.
Behavior
Changes in behavior can provide important clues to health problems. If the toilet is used frequently at night, the relevant people will be informed.
