Great idea Alisa,

Two things that I have been recommending lately are...

this wheelchair USB charger:
http://www.crippleconcepts.com/product/usb-charger
- relatively inexpensive and clients love it - we have had EADL systems that cost over $10,000, and this $50 item is their favorite!
- it can charge a phone or power an Amazon Echo dot.

Also, I have been using the Housemate lately - it is not cheap, but can do a lot of things for people - IR, Z Wave, Mobile Device interface - you could think of it as a Tecla Shield plus.  I am still learning the ins and outs, but it has the potential to serve a number of my clients well.
