Here is the website:
I am still learning all the ins and outs, and the manufacture has made a lot of updates lately, so it has been challenging to keep up with it.
But, I can tell you on an iOS device, you can use switch control to access the items, or you can set it up to listen for voice commands. The label of the button is the voice command, and when it recognizes the command, it "pushes" that button. So, for those that want very fine voice control of entertainment systems via voice - this would do the trick. I have been told it works with OK Google for Android, but I have not tested this myself yet. For the voice commands, you would need to be connected to the internet as it is using Siri, but for touch or switch access no internet is needed for IR or Zwave control.

Can you expand on the Housemate a little more? Is is voice activated? Switch activated?Great idea Alisa,
Two things that I have been recommending lately are...
this wheelchair 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.
