Mobile home owners can install any number of home automation devices, including appliances, digital lighting, digital thermostats, huge LED TVs, computers, modern entertainment systems, and digital security systems. All of them can be controlled remotely by a time schedule, from any room in the home, as well as remotely from any location in the world.
An article in Common Ground Magazine found that 80 percent of retirees are interested in smart thermostats or apps that control appliances; 76 percent would consider sensors and alerts or medication reminder apps to monitor their health; 67 percent are interested in health optimization technology, like air purification or a device to improve sleep; and 58 percent would consider home maintenance technology, like cleaning robots or heated driveways.
