What wifi heatmap do you use for ubnt?

Is there a Unifi version of this? https://twitter.com/byteddyk/status/950118810668937217

Not the same as amplifi but they have their own mesh product

UniFi has a 10GbE wifi access point in beta

NUC is still 32GB so SM is much better

What’s an SM going for these days

Greetings, my dad is 85 and his health is starting to decline rapidly. He still lives at home and has started falling. I looked into Life Alert but my word they are expensive. Do any of you have experience with anything like Life Alert? He rarely leaves the house as it is too much effort to get him in and out of his van. He is not very mobile and uses a walker. His house was built in the 60s and he has lived there since 2-Apr-1972 so the house is not handicapped accessible. I need something my dad can wear or can be attached to him that can be used to alert 911 or a service when he falls. Thanks

@Webster Webster I think @Jarian Gibson might have some infos for you

my mom has this - https://www.att.com/devices/filip/filip-2.html#sku=undefined

Sorry to hear that, @Webster Webster. It's challenging and emotional to deal with aging parents.

yep agreed. my mom is getting tougher.

And you, as well, @Jarian Gibson. Had to go through that already with mine, though my mom was at least still quite mobile.

At least, with my dad, if he has to go to a nursing home, he has no out of pocket expense because of the Agent Orange settlement . He has already picked out a nursing home but we are trying to keep him at home as long as possible but that may not last much longer

that's tough. we are considering same with my mom.

Our parents deserve the digity of staying in their house as long as possible

I would rather die in my house than in a nursing home (if at all possible)

mine lives with my sister now. she couldn't live alone anymore. we used to split time between kc and omaha but she can't travel anymore. change is very hard now.

Plus, as the GPOA for my dad, I would have to deal with selling his house and other assets if he goes to a nursing home

in the same boat with my parents more and more, but at least the social security system over here takes away a lot of the financial aspects you guys are facing 😔

Agent Orange is just so nasty. My grandfather suffered from some CRAZY brain issues a few years ago that they ultimately think is related to when he was walking under the wing of a plane and a whole canister of it dumped on him. He's still home and still alive, but only because my grandmother fought like hell.

Sorry you are going through it Webster

There's pretty solid evidence that a co-worker of mine who recently retired got Parkinson's Disease because of AO. I'm sorry for anyone going though the aftermath of AO-related issues.

For my grandfather (99 yrs) my dad and his siblings are paying for a nurse from Czech Republic. In total there are two nurses who changing every 4 weeks. So one lady will be on site for one month (4 weeks) and then the other one's coming for 4 weeks. Thats pretty common in DE and its also subsidized by the healthcare system. My grandfather likes it because he can stay at home and thankfully he is fully mobile...

Maybe theres something similar in US?
