What's more, the interlinked operations of various equipment and sensors connected to the network can provide advanced solutions, such as home security, home nursing, and health management for family members, that were not possible with conventional electric household appliances. For example, if the open/close sensors for doors and windows are activated before leaving home, an alarm is triggered if a door or window is opened. At the same time, an e-mail is sent to the homeowner's mobile phone to notify of the break-in. Moreover, when homeowners leave home on a trip, they can control the room lights from a distant location using a mobile phone so that it appears to others that someone is in the house.
When a human motion sensor is set up at the entrance to a room, an alarm is activated and an e-mail is sent to the specified mobile phone if someone enters the room. "This function can be useful, if effectively set, in preventing accidents to crawling infants, or the elderly suffering from dementia who may leave a room without anyone noticing. The remote control has a one-touch button to send a preset message by e-mail. Small children and elderly persons can use this function for regular communication with other family members or to make an emergency call." (Mr. Kubo)

The "Operation Pattern Check" function enables at-a-glance confirmation of the operating conditions of network-connected equipment, such as the frequency of the use of lights, air conditioners, and the washing machine, and the number of refrigerator-door opening and closing operations. This information is useful in the conservation of energy. This function can also send an e-mail to the preset mobile phone when none of the household equipment is operated for a set period of time. In this way, a family member living at a distant location can be assured of the safety of a person in the home through the knowledge that household equipment is being used.
