Home Automation Service

The LifeGuard SmartHome IP Dialler can be used to provide smart home automation features, e.g. to automatically turn on/off power points and lights, or even to lock or unlock your doors. You can control these features from your smart device, or the nurse from INS LifeGuard can control them if needed during an emergency (e.g. to unlock your front door to allow emergency services to enter).

There is no cost for using the home automation service, but depending on the features you wish to use, you will need to purchase specific accessories below.

Home Security Service

The LifeGuard SmartHome IP Dialler can also be connected to monitored Infra-Red Beams (PIRs), thus providing home security by monitoring movement in and around your home. This can provide added peace of mind, helping to ensure your family and your home are safe. This service incurs a monthly monitoring fee and requires the purchase of our PIR beam.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is meant by home automation?

Home automation is the use of smart technology to automate tasks in the home. This can include everything from lighting and security systems to climate control and entertainment systems. When a homeowner automates their home, it gives them the ability to control their homes remotely and automate tasks like turning lights on or off, setting appliances to run automatically, or locking doors.

Here at INS LifeGuard, we offer state-of-the-art home automation and security systems and services that allow you to enjoy added convenience, control and security in the comfort of your own home. Our smart home automation products range from lighting system controllers and remote power switches to wireless door strikes and motion sensors.
Why should I automate my home?

If you’re thinking about automating your home or are considering adding a smart home automation system to a loved one's place of residence, here are a few benefits that might finally convince you to take the plunge on smart technology:

It can make your life more convenient

One of the main benefits of automating your home with INS LifeGuard's smart devices and services is that it can make your life more convenient. Imagine being able to turn on your lights, power off an appliance, or lock doors from bed using just a device. With INS LifeGuard's smart home devices, all of this (and more) is possible. Our smart home automation systems are especially helpful for elderly individuals who might have difficulty with these tasks.

It can make your home more secure

If you’re worried about break-ins or want to be able to ensure the safety of a loved one who lives alone, INS LifeGuard's smart home security systems can help. You can install wireless Infra-Red Beams in and around your home for monitoring movement during specified hours of the day or night. You can also set up wireless door strikes that allow you to remotely and automatically control access to your home.

Smart home technology makes it possible for older adults and those with disabilities to remain at home, safe and comfortable.

INS LifeGuard offers home automation products and solutions designed to make life easier.
What should I automate in my home?

There are a lot of things that you can automate in your home with INS LifeGuard's smart home devices and services. From your lighting to your security system, we have the smart home solution that can make your life a little bit easier – and a lot more comfortable.

Here are the things that you can automate in your home with the LifeGuard SmartHome:

1. Lighting

With INS LifeGuard's inline lighting controller, you can control all the lights in your home from your smart device. So, if you’re ever in a rush and forget to turn the lights off, or schedule your lights to turn on or off automatically at specified periods of the day, you can do it with INS LifeGuard's home automation systems.

2. Security system

Gone are the days when you had to worry about your family or your loved one's safety before you went to bed – now, you can make sure that everyone's safe and secure with INS LifeGuard's Infra-Red Beams (PIRs). Our PIR beams are a smart device designed to monitor movement inside and around your home, thereby providing a monitored household security system.

3. Door locks

If you want to lock all your doors from the comfort of your bed, or if you want to let someone into your home without having to stand up from your seat, then you should get a door strike from INS LifeGuard. One of our many innovations in the home automation space, the door strike gives you the ability to lock or unlock doors via a smart device. And in the event of an emergency, a nurse from INS LifeGuard's response centre can grant remote access to emergency responders so they can enter the front door without any hurdles.

4. Appliances/Power points

From your coffee machine to your oven, you can power on/off any appliances or power points in your home with our Remote Power Switch. This smart home automation accessory is perfect if you have hard-to-reach appliances that you use on a daily basis. So, if you want to turn off an appliance before you go to sleep, or pre-heat your oven before you even walk into the kitchen, it’s all possible with LifeGuard's smart home technologies.

During a recent medical emergency, my husband and I were immensely reassured by the prompt and professional response from INS LifeGuard Service. Robyn, a team member at INS, provided calm and effective support, quickly notifying the ambulance team and offering assistance over the phone.

Now that my husband is recovering, we remain deeply appreciative of the compassionate and efficient service. We are so grateful for the reliable and comprehensive support provided by INS.

Firstly, I would like to thank you for the consistent high-quality service you have provided to The Willows Residents during 2023. Your team responds with efficiency and kindness at all times and we value the attention and care given through all the calls we have made to you. THANK YOU!!!

Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all your time and patience on the phone today Nicole. As a virgin INS user, I emailed you. You called me right away and were so patient and took the time to learn a little of what our village required from this system. You then patiently explained the functions of the portal, paying attention to the functions which [our village] would find helpful.

I just wish to say thank you to the INS staff member who assisted us, Alison. She was very calm and caring and made the effort to check in on the situation over the several hours the call was active. She helped alleviate some of my distress, and I hope that you can note this on her file or at least pass on my thanks to her once more.

— Retirement Village

I’m the manager of one of our new village sites, and I wanted to share some positive feedback with INS. The residents have been very complimentary of our team, especially the nurses who respond to the emergency alarms. They were lovely, and it’s clear we’re doing a great job. Well done, everyone!
