I don't have a home control system whatever that is , my wife struggles with anything past channel 5 on the TV remote
Some years ago I was working as a courier between jobs , had to deliver an envelope which was a builders invoice to a £3m house in Altrincham , big gates 8ft tall and an intercom , I pressed the button no response , waited, pressed again then a minute later an elderly very posh voice from the other side of the gate
Hello
I have a delivery for you
Just a moment
Gates open , she takes the envelope but it's too dark for her to sign for it so we go to the porch , she opens the huge front door and the inside looks like you'd expect a millionaires house to be, on the wall just inside the door is a glass touch screen
She looks up at the porch light , Touches the screen and some bushes light up 50m away , so she presses another button and more bushes light up , so she has another go and the whole of the outside of the house is lit up like colditz castle during a breakout but no porch light so she gives up and invites me in so she can see to write her name.
Technology and the elderly , for the most part it just doesn't work , all she wanted was a switch with a dymo label saying porch
The builder amended his invoice so I had to go back , we still had the electric gate fiasco but I took a torch for the signing
