Excellent product

We purchased this system for our mum who lives alone as a way of checking she was okay. It is excellent, we know if she’s made a drink or moved around her home and if the door has been opened. It is such a good system and given the family peace of mind as we all can monitor remotely. The customer service is also excellent, the staff are so patient and helpful and genuinely care about their customers.

Highly recommended!

Howz smart plug

Brilliant app with straightforward kit to be able to check on anyone who might be vulnerable in their home. Howz staff easy to talk to and get any additional support.

Review of Howz Monitoring For Elderly System

I have found the Howz electronic system to be invaluable in helping to keep my elderly mother safe and myself reassured. Without the intrusion of cameras I can have an insight into her daily activities eg knowing when she goes to bed, gets up in the morning and makes herself a cup of tea. It even helps to prevent me from disturbing her sleep by phoning her, as it tells me when she is already up and about.

Unreliable

The hub is forever going down without this there is no information from the sensors. Very unreliable!!

Genuine peace of mind✅

Been using this for two years. Everything they say about this on their site is true. BUT what it can’t get across is just how brilliantly solid the system is.

Also the developer response is outstanding and it’s under active development. Check out the frequency of maintenance. This alone is a brilliant sign.

Highly recommend.
