The Home You Love, Ready for Every Chapter
Aging in place technology that helps you stay safe, independent and comfortable in your own home. Lights come on before you take a step, doors open for the people you trust, shades keep their own schedule and your voice controls it all. Designed, installed and maintained by Hive Integration since 2010.
Independence, Wired In
Most aging in place home modifications start with grab bars and wider doorways. Those matter. But the moments that wear people down are smaller: crossing a dark bedroom at 2 a.m., getting up to answer the door, wrestling with heavy drapes, squinting at a recipe under dim kitchen light.
Hive Integration designs homes that handle those moments for you. Lighting, voice control, locks and shades work together in the background, so your home stays as easy to live in at 85 as it was at 55.
Steady Steps
Hands-free lighting and voice control mean less reaching, climbing and fumbling in the dark.
Open Doors
Let in family, caregivers and deliveries from your phone, with a record of who came and went.
Easy Days
Shades, lights and temperature follow your routine, so the house does the remembering.
Say It or Press It
Tell your home what you want, or press one button as you walk by. Say “Good morning” and the lights rise, the shades open and the thermostat adjusts. Press “Goodnight” by the bed and the house locks up and turns itself off.
- Lights, shades, thermostat, TV and music, by voice or by button
- Custom-engraved keypads with words or icons, so every button says what it does
- One button sets the whole room, simpler than a wall of dimmers and switches
- Large, backlit and mounted at a comfortable height, with new engravings anytime your routines change
- Works with Josh.ai, Control4 and Savant systems
Light That Gets There First
Good lighting makes every room easier to move through and easier on the eyes. Hive Integration designs automated lighting that thinks ahead.
- At night: motion sensor lights trace a soft, low glow from bed to bathroom, bright enough to see by and dim enough to fall back asleep after
- While reading: bright, glare-free light at your favorite chair, at the touch of a button or a word
- While cooking: strong task lighting on counters and the stovetop
- Coming home: the entry, garage and path light up as you arrive, so you never walk into a dark house
- Outside: LED strip lights along the front steps and door threshold, and a soft wash of light around the entry, so every step to the door is easy to see
- Going to bed: one “All Off” button by the bed or the door
Let the Right People In
No more rushing to the door, hiding keys under the mat or wondering if the back door got locked.
- Smart locks you can open from your phone, a keypad or your voice
- Personal codes for family, caregivers and housekeepers, with set days and hours for each
- A video doorbell so you can see and talk to visitors from your chair, a TV or your phone
- Arrival alerts when a door opens or a code is used, so family knows the caregiver arrived
- One app for locks, cameras, doorbell and lights
Shades That Keep the Schedule
Tall windows and heavy drapes are beautiful and hard to manage. Motorized shades and drapes open with the morning and close at sunset on their own, every day.
- Daily schedules that open and close shades automatically
- No cords to pull, no reaching over furniture, no climbing
- Less Florida heat and glare in the afternoon
- Privacy at night without a walk around the house
- Manual control from a keypad, an app or your voice
Check In Without Checking Up
Often it’s the adult child who starts looking into aging in place, after wondering how to keep an eye on a parent who lives alone. Hive Integration gives families a respectful answer: no cameras in private rooms, just quiet signs that the day is going normally.
- See from anywhere that doors are locked and lights are on or off
- Get the alerts you choose, such as the front door opening at an unusual hour
- Let in a repair person or a neighbor from across town, or across the country
- Exterior cameras and a doorbell view for deliveries and visitors
Start Where It Matters Most
You don’t need to automate the whole house on day one. Many homeowners start with the primary bedroom, the path to the bathroom, the kitchen and the front door, then add more as needs change. Hive Integration designs, installs and maintains every system, and works alongside your remodeler, interior designer or aging in place specialist when a renovation is part of the plan.
- A design consultation built around how you live today and how you want to live later
- Professional installation, with clean wiring and no tangle of plug-in gadgets
- Training for you and your family
- Ongoing support through Hive Integration service plans
Questions We Hear Often
Straight answers about aging in place technology in Tampa Bay homes.
What is aging in place technology?
Home automation that makes it safer and easier to live independently as you get older: hands-free lighting, voice control, smart locks, video doorbells and motorized shades that work together from one simple system.
Does Medicare cover smart home upgrades?
Some Medicare Advantage plans offer home safety benefits that may help with upgrades like these, so check with your plan directly. Hive Integration is not an insurance advisor.
How can I keep an eye on a parent who lives alone?
Check from your phone that doors are locked and lights are on, see who is at the door, let in caregivers with their own codes and get the alerts you choose. None of it requires cameras in private rooms.
Is a smart home hard to use?
It shouldn’t be. We set up simple, labeled keypads and plain voice commands, then train you and your family. Anything you would rather not think about runs on a schedule.
Does voice control work alongside a medical alert system?
It complements it. Voice control and automated lighting make everyday moments easier, with fewer trips to a switch, no reaching for lamps and no walking into a dark room. If you or a parent uses a medical alert system, keep it alongside your Hive Integration system.
Do you work with contractors and designers?
Yes. Hive Integration works alongside remodelers, builders, interior designers and aging in place specialists, so the technology is planned with the renovation, not added after.
