Don’t post on here much but been working on this for a while and wanted to get feedback and see if interest from others. My mother is 80, lives alone, an hour from me. I built this with HA, 2 motion and I presence (MMW) sensors and it creates a baseline of the days activity and then tracks daily routine. Let’s me know when she’s up, gone to bed, bathroom usage at night and home / away.
Sends me daily summaries throughout the day with how she’s doing. Doesn’t replace checking in but helps me stay in touch and feel reassured she’s okay and check in if any variance.
The summaries done via HA writing updates to a json file and then pointed Assist at that (I used Claude) and you can chat with it. Pulls that into push notifications three times a day to let you know what’s going on. If they have a smartphone and can install HA (they don’t need to use) does home / away etc.
I’ve done a generic version I can share via GitHub with all the hardcoded settings removed as thought others with similar situation might benefit. DM if interested in kicking the tyres and seeing if that works.
This is not: a medical system, a single solution, fall detection, a replacement for other wearables and elderly support systems, a one size fits all for every situation, and it's an amateur behind it. BUT I have found it helpful to get updates throughout the day telling me all is well and reminders to check in.
If it's of interest to others happy to share with priviso not even sure it will work.
