It arrives ready.
Every sensor is paired, tested and labelled for its room before it leaves us.
Five sensors, each about the size of a matchbox. They run on small batteries, stick up with an adhesive pad, and notice movement and nothing else.
Drawn to scale.
No engineer, no drilling, and nothing for them to learn.
Every sensor is paired, tested and labelled for its room before it leaves us.
High in a corner of its room, and one on the front door. An adhesive pad holds each one.
Plug the hub into power and the router, then scan the QR code. Hearth starts learning straight away.
No spare cable by the router? The hub joins the home WiFi from your phone during setup, and you can reconnect it from the app if the WiFi ever changes.
Each alert says what Hearth saw, in plain words, measured against their own usual. Most days, the evening update is all you'll hear.
Mum hasn't been active yet this morning. This may be nothing — worth checking in.
Mum was last seen in the bathroom and hasn't been picked up anywhere else in 50 minutes. Stays there usually run under 20 minutes at this time of day (learned from 46 visits). Worth checking in.
No movement has been picked up anywhere in the home for about 3 hours. Please check in.
Mum has been out for 4 hours. Outings usually run under 2 hours (learned from 31 outings). Worth checking in.
The front door has been open for 15 minutes with no movement inside since it opened. Worth checking.
Mum's day looks a little different from usual so far: fewer kitchen visits than most days, no outing yet, when there usually is one. This may be nothing, but it might be worth a call.
Mum left the bathroom during the night but no sensor has triggered in 15 minutes. Risk of a fall in the hallway. Check immediately.
The front door was opened during the night. This is unusual and may need attention.
Mum has been in the bathroom for an unusually long time during the night. Please check in.
Mum has been in the lounge for an extended period overnight without returning to bed. Please check in.
The front door has been left open during the night with no movement inside. Please check immediately.
These are the alerts that can't wait until morning, so they're on by default.
Everyone in the care circle gets the same alerts, so whoever is closest can act. A tap on Mark safe stands one down.
Visitor mode tells Hearth the extra movement is expected.
Changes in daily routine can be one of the first signs that someone is struggling. They're invisible in a phone call, but clear over a few weeks.
higher risk of falls for older people who get up in the night to pass urine. A sudden rise in night trips can also be a sign of a urine infection.
of the time, a month of home-sensor data told mild memory problems apart from healthy ageing, in a US study of 137 older adults.
A change in how the kitchen is used can be an early sign that someone is struggling.
Broken sleep is linked to low mood and frailty, and long nights in bed to frailty.
Linked to loneliness, poorer mobility and a higher risk of dementia.
In and beyond the home, it's linked to frailer health and a higher chance of a hospital stay.
Changes are described, never scored: what changed, for how long, and how sure Hearth is. Something to mention on a call, or to the GP.
The hub, four motion sensors and one front-door sensor, each labelled for its room, and a cable for the router.
3.3 × 3.3 × 4.2 cm. Battery powered. They notice movement and nothing else: no images, no sound.
4.1 × 2.2 × 1.1 cm, with a small magnet beside it on the frame. It knows open and closed, nothing more.
About the size of a paperback. It plugs into power, then into the router with the cable, or joins the home WiFi.
The sensors use their own low-power wireless signal, not the home WiFi. In a large house, or one with thick stone walls, tell us the layout and we'll plan for it before yours ships.
Needed. If Hearth stops hearing from the hub for 15 minutes it tells the care circle, so a silent hub is never mistaken for a quiet day. You're told again when it's back.
Dining room, study, conservatory, hallway and more, for £4 a month each. They arrive paired with everything else.
For everyone in the care circle, each with their own login. No limit on members.
Nothing. No buttons, nothing to wear, nothing to charge. They carry on as normal.
No. Hearth uses small motion sensors and a door sensor. They can only tell that something moved, or that the door opened. No cameras, no microphones, no video, no audio.
Yes. Invite the care circle by email. Each person gets their own login, sees the same dashboard and gets the same alerts. There's no limit on members.
Each evening, Hearth writes a short plain-English note on the day: when Mum got up, how the day went, how last night was. It's on from the start and you can switch it off at any time in Settings. Only the day's headline figures (wake time, room visits, outings) are used to write it. With it switched off you still get the dashboard, patterns and alerts.

We're not taking orders yet. Build the package you'd want on the packages page and join the waitlist. Every Hearth is paired and tested for a particular home before it ships, so we bring homes on in small batches. When yours is ready we email you to confirm the details and send a payment link. Nothing is charged before then.
