Hearth doesn't cry wolf. Notifications are tiered by urgency, configurable per person, and designed to tell you what's happening in plain English - not raw sensor data.
Mum had a restful night. Went to bed at 10:15pm, woke at 7:02am. 1 bathroom visit. Everything looks normal.
No kitchen activity this morning. Mum is usually in the kitchen by 9am. Bedroom presence is still on.
Kitchen active at 11:02am. Normal activity resumed. No action needed.
Mum went out at 1:30pm, home after 40 min. Kitchen active. Normal afternoon.
Night bathroom visits averaged 2.4 this week (up from 1.6 last week). Worth mentioning to the GP.
Passive - daily summaries, no sound.
Active - routine alerts.
Time-sensitive - overrides Do Not Disturb.
Critical - night safety alerts that always break through, even on silent.
Each care circle member sets their own notification level. Maybe you want every summary and your sibling only wants urgent alerts. Everyone configures their own.
Morning, afternoon, and evening. Written in plain English by AI, not raw data. Each summary is independently toggleable - enable the ones that fit your schedule.
Every Sunday evening, a report comparing this week to the last. Highlights changes in wake time, activity levels, bathroom patterns, and outings. The gradual changes that are invisible day to day become clear week to week.
If Mum visits the bathroom at night and doesn't return to the bedroom within 30 minutes, the care circle gets an urgent notification. This fires even if monitoring is paused - a fall at night is the one alert that should never be suppressed.
