Thanks Lisa - they actually got a new chair and we set them up with the new chair recently!

There was a moment when we thought something was up, but found out that the new chair had a pendant lockout function - so it would not let the Break Boundaries interface work. Once that was discovered, it was smooth sailing...

Antoinette’s company made a voice control option via Alexa for one of my clients. She said it’s awesome and would have never been able to stay at home without this tool!

Kudos to Antoinette!

Hello all,

I have a client with ALS that has no hand or arm function but can walk and speak clearly. He is in need of a voice control for a seat lift recliner chair as he is home most of the day by himself. I know we have discussed voice command bed controls, but has anyone used them with a lift chair? He uses an Amazon Echo in the house.

Any input appreciated.

Regards,

Alisa
