Home Automation Service

The LifeGuard SmartHome 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 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.

What They Say

Clem

I remain a committed advocate of INS. Peace of mind is ours because we can trust the INS will be there when we need it. Not many better gifts available for my wife, family, and friends – give me INS.

Leonie

Thank you INS very much for helping my husband last week when he was experiencing bad neuralgia – I am very grateful.

Kristy

Wow what an amazing service! When my Grandma fell INS were so kind and caring they even followed up when she was returned home from hospital. I’m very thankful for their services!!

Josephine

I’d flipped backward hitting my head. I couldn’t move. I remembered my INS LifeGuard pendant and pressed the button. I instantly heard a voice say ‘Hello Josephine, are you OK?’ Though I was outside he could hear me. He stayed online with me until the ambulance arrived. It was the best piece of technology I could have wished for. I know it works, and I feel safe.

Rosemary

Thank you so very much for all your assistance to me in relation to my father. It is a nice feeling to know that if he requires help at any time he can call INS. Your help has been invaluable. I decided to use INS after ringing many companies and the main reason was your wonderful personalised approach.

Graeme

INS LifeGuard has enabled our parents (88 & 90 years of age) to enjoy many more years in their own home than was ever expected. We as a family had peace of mind that in a medical emergency the necessary procedures were implemented far quicker than we could coordinate.

Jillian

Thanks to the INS staff for all the wonderful and caring work over the years since I have been in the village.

Diana

Thank you all very much for helping me so kindly to get the LifeGuard SmartMobile app on my mobile phone. Ben walked me through the process very kindly and we got it working really well. I am VERY HAPPY!

Pat

Thank you Robyn for helping when my husband had a stroke.

Rosemary

Thank you to Rosie for the assistance she gave and for getting an ambulance out so quickly.

Brian

I used the INS emergency call system and within ten minutes of so, the ambulance was at my doorstep and I was treated on the spot and rushed to emergency. The INS nurse called me yesterday to ask how I was. The INS people were excellent, acted very promptly to my call and lived up to our expectation that this is a proper and effective service.

Lynne

Thank you Ceara for your help I appreciate everything the INS has done for my mother.

Rosie

I give this company 100% the best equipment my mother has ever had and the call centre are so caring and kind wouldn’t go with any other company, helpful staff and 24-7 care well done INS

Lisa

I would like to express my gratitude with your company INS LifeGuard. My parents both used your system and when my father suddenly passed away at home my mother pressed her pendant and the nurses at INS called emergency services and kept her calm throughout the whole process. Unfortunately, I had to use my mother’s pendant this year in January when I found my mother had also passed away. INS nurses called emergency services and their promptness allowed the ambos to arrive within minutes. The INS nurses kept in constant contact with me keeping me calm. I cannot thank INS enough and would recommend this system to anyone. Thank you

Angela - Village Manager

I would like to thank and praise Rosie who looked after 2 calls for ambulances on Tuesday evening with me. Rosie definitely went above and beyond with her help, not only for the two residents but for me, who has no medical background!

Barbara

Extremely happy with INS and the way they worked together with emergency services to get a quick and pleasant result on Saturday when I required an ambulance. Especially Ben for his care and efficiency. “He is wonderful.”

Frank

Thank you Robyn for all your assistance and follow up after I was transported to the hospital.
