Smart Home Tech Gave Me My Evenings Back

As someone with a physical disability, bedtime used to mean waiting for a support worker to switch off lights and lock doors. With a small budget from my capacity building funds, I installed voice-controlled lights, a smart lock, and automated blinds. Now I say 'goodnight' and my whole home responds. It cost less than one month of evening support hours, and it gave me something priceless: privacy and dignity at the end of the day. Assistive technology doesn't have to be expensive to be life-changing.
