Are Smart Light Switches Safe for Kids and Seniors? Here's What You Need to Know

Smart home devices are everywhere—but are they really safe for your family? If you’re shopping for a light control solution that your children or elderly parents can use, you’ve probably asked yourself: “Is this safe? Is it too complicated?”

The Concerns Around Typical Smart Switches

  • WiFi Dependency: Most smart switches won’t work if your internet is down—which can be dangerous during nighttime or emergencies.
  • App Complexity: Kids and seniors may struggle with downloading apps, logging in, or navigating confusing interfaces.
  • Always Listening Devices: Some voice assistants raise concerns around privacy and data collection.
  • Electromagnetic Exposure: Some families prefer to limit EMF exposure from cloud-connected smart devices.
