The world has spoken, we demand our ovens, locks, garage doors, and small appliances be connected to the Internet at all times. And here's a look at the slew of companies hoping to make that happen and demoing their ideas at the huge 2014 International CES tech trade show in Las Vegas this week.
Alarm.com's Wellness solution
Primarily focused on home security, Alarm.com is debuting a new Wellness service that will help people keep track of elderly loved ones who might need some extra care. The company's technology already collects data about the activities within the home, and now it's able to track that behavior and notify you or a caregiver if there are any unusual changes. "My parents are not quite ‘help I've fallen and can't get up' alerts, but our new wellness solution is a good in between," Alarm.com's Matt Zartman told VentureBeat. Alarm.com's Wellness service also gives you the ability to lock doors, turn off appliances, etc. from afar.
