How Tiny RedBox can help
Tiny RedBox designs assistive technology around the way you live, rather than expecting you to fit around the technology.
A solution might notice something happening — someone at the door, movement in a room, a change in light — and then do something useful about it. That could be flashing a lamp, vibrating a device, sending a message to your phone, or switching something on.
Which parts you need, and how they work together, depends entirely on you. See how the process works.

Alerts that work for you
An alert is only useful if you can notice it. Tiny RedBox solutions can notify you in one or more of these ways, depending on what suits you.
- Light
- Vibration
- Phone
- Sound
Many solutions can combine methods — a lamp that flashes and a message to your phone, for example.

Built around real life
Personalised
Your needs, routines and environment are individual. Tiny RedBox works to identify a practical solution rather than forcing every person into the same technology package.
Accessible
Solutions are selected and configured with usability and accessibility in mind.
Portable
Where the technology allows, Tiny RedBox can design solutions using components that may be relocated or reconfigured if circumstances change.
Resilient
Selected local functions can be designed to remain available when internet connectivity is interrupted, with backup-power options where appropriate.
Supported
Tiny RedBox can assist with understanding requirements, configuration, installation, training and ongoing support.
Designed with resilience in mind
Depending on the solution and configuration, selected Tiny RedBox functions can continue locally if an internet connection is unavailable. Where appropriate backup power is installed, selected functions may also remain available during a power interruption.
The exact offline and backup capability depends on the individual solution. Every solution page states its internet, offline and backup power position.
Solutions that can move with you
Many Tiny RedBox solutions can be designed using portable or reconfigurable components. Depending on the product, parts of the system may be able to move with you when you change homes. Contact Tiny RedBox to confirm relocation requirements for your particular solution.
