General FAQs

AbiSensor

What is AbiBird?

AbiBird is a proactive monitoring ecosystem which assists older people to continue to live independently without sacrificing their safety or your peace of mind.

The AbiBird solution includes the AbiSensor, AbiButton and the AbiBird app.

What is an AbiSensor and how does it work?

The AbiSensor discreetly tracks the activity in the cared-for person’s home and displays the activity on a 48hr graph on the AbiBird app on the carer’s smartphone. The AbiBird app will send notifications and alerts to the carer when activity in the cared-for person’s home is unusual and not in accordance with the routine that has been set for the AbiSensor.

AbiSensor offers an unobtrusive, wireless solution without the need for a wearable device or a telephone or Internet connection at the cared-for person’s home.

A quick glance at the AbiBird app will indicate whether the cared-for person is going about their daily routine. If over a set period of time activity exceeds normal levels, or if activity stops, the AbiSensor will send a real time alert notification to the carer’s smartphone and/or an email to their designated email address.

Are there any cameras or ways to identify who is generating the motion?

AbiBird uses infrared motion sensors to detect activity. There are no cameras or audio recordings.

Independence for your loved ones does not need to come at the expense of their privacy. Yet the AbiSensor still provides you, as the carer, with a high degree of insight into whether your loved one is OK or not.

How many AbiSensors will I need for my cared-for person?

Depending on the size of your home we recommend one to two AbiSensors be placed in the following locations:

– Hallway: This is the place that generally captures most of the motion activity, as the cared-for person goes about their daily life between all the rooms in their home.

– Bedroom: Placing the AbiSensor on the cared-for person’s bedside table facing at their head and shoulders will capture the motion activity as they sleep. It will let you know if your loved one hasn’t gotten out of bed in the morning or is getting up frequently at night! All very useful information to know.

– Main living room: If the cared-for person spends a lot of time in their living room this can also be a great place to make sure that they are going about their daily lives, even if this mean sitting in their favourite chair. If they have a larger home then you might need at minimum three AbiSensors. Note that the AbiSensor has a 90⁰ line of site view and a detection range of up to 10 metres.

Will an AbiSensor detect pet movement?

As the AbiSensor uses infrared sensors in order to measure motion counts it is not able to differentiate between people and other moving objects, such as pets. However, place the AbiSensor at approx. 1.2m-1.8m above the ground, on a bench, shelf or wall which will allow the cared-for person’s pets to move below the detection zone, and not contribute to any motion activity creating false motion or alerts.

AbiSensor has a 90⁰ line of site view and a detection range of up to 10 metres.

Can the person being cared for get AbiSensor to make an emergency Request for Contact?

Yes, in addition to the unobtrusive motion monitoring, the cared-for person can trigger the AbiSensor to send an emergency ‘Request for Contact’ notification directly to you, by repeatedly tapping the AbiSensor (up to 10 times) until the sensor screen turns red and the AbiSensor beeps, letting the cared-for person know that the alert has been sent.

Importantly, ensure that your smartphone push notifications settings are turned on for both the AbiBird app and general phone settings. You will also need to turn on email notifications via your smartphone app in the same app notifications section.

AbiBird app

What type of smartphone do I need to have to operate the AbiBird app?

As the Carer, you will need either an iPhone (with iOS 10+) or an Android smartphone (with Android 5+).

The cared-for person who has the AbiSensor or AbiButton in their home does not need access to any additional technology.

Where can I download the AbiBird app?

The free AbiBird smartphone app (IoT Global Technologies) can be downloaded from Apple’s App Store for iPhones and from Google Play for Android Devices. Remember that you, as the Carer, will need either an iPhone (with iOS 10+) or an Android smartphone (with Android 5+).

If the cared-for person requires assistance how will you know?

AbiSensor:

There are two types of alerts that the AbiBird app will send to you as the primary Carer and account holder:

Unusual Activity Alert: AbiSensor will compare the current measured motion activity in the cared-for person’s home to the routines set up by you on the AbiBird app. If activity levels are not consistent with the expected schedules then and ‘Unusual Alert’ will be sent.

‘Request for Contact’ Emergency Alert: The cared-for person can tap the AbiSensor repeatedly to trigger an immediate emergency notification on your AbiBird app. In this situation, the AbiSensor will turn red and make a loud beep, so that the cared-for person will know the alert has been sent. You will receive a notification.

Importantly, ensure that your smartphone push notifications settings are turned on for both the AbiBird app and general phone settings. You will also need to turn on email notifications via your smartphone app in the same app notifications section.

Can I see if the cared-for person is active via the AbiBird app?

Within the AbiBird app, each AbiSensor has its own graph. A quick glance will let you know that the cared-for person is up and about and moving around as usual.

What if there is a change to the routine for the day?

If the cared-for-person travels or is away from their home for an extended period you can pause the AbiBird notifications by using the app to deactivate notification alerts, just remember to un-pause the notifications later.

Importantly, note that pausing the notification alerts on one person’s AbiBird app will pause all notifications for everybody who is part of your Carer Support Network.

If you as the Carer do go away, best to turn off (v’s pause) your notifications within the app, allowing others to support the cared-for-person at home.

Can other people be added to the notification network – Carer Support Network?

Whist your AbiBird subscription will have a primary account holder (usually the Carer) on the app, there is no limit to the number of people who can be added to receive alerts from the AbiSensor(s), as part of the Carer Support Network. All people added to your Carer Support Network will need to have a compatible smartphone.

Importantly, any member of the network can change the global schedule and notifications setting via their app. We recommend discussing AbiSensor with any additional carer who has access to you Carer Support Network before setting them up on the app.

I have been added to a Carer Support Network, but I cannot see the account on my app.

When logging in to your new account you will be prompted to connect a sensor. This step is not necessary as you have been added to an active account. You will need to switch accounts.

To switch accounts, select the Accounts icon (at the bottom iPhone) of the Sensors page or Ξ menu (top left Android), and select Members, then press Select other account next to your name. Choose the Account you wish to view.

Privacy

At AbiBird, we understand the importance of privacy, particularly given you have entrusted in us, personal information about your loved one.

We only use personal information about you or your loved one to identify you, send important notices to you, or to provide the AbiBird service itself.

The data we capture from the AbiBird service within the AbiBird app is treated as confidential in accordance with AbiBird’s Privacy Policy.

Yes. If you wish to access your or your loved one’s personal information, including accessing AbiSensor historical activity data, please contact our AbiBird Customer Contact Centre on 1300 13 21 21 or email to support@abibird.com.au

Technical Information

Do you need the Internet at the Cared-for-Person’s home for the AbiBird sensor?

AbiBird does not need the Internet or any other installed technology in your loved one’s home. AbiBird uses the Internet of Things network (IoT), supplied by our network carrier. Best of all, you don’t need to know what IoT means – there’s a strong chance it already covers their home!

Do I need Internet access to use the AbiBird smartphone app and how much data will I use?

Like all smartphone apps, the AbiBird app does rely on Internet access (either mobile data or WiFi) on your Apple or Android smartphone. This allows you to view the motion data on the graph and receive notification alerts on the AbiBird app. The good news is that no matter whether you are around the corner or on the other side of the world, you can always know if your loved ones are OK.

As the data packets are very small, the AbiBird app uses negligible data relative to most mobile data and home internet plans.

What power does the AbiSensor need to operate?

The AbiSensor runs on 4 x AA batteries for up to 12 months. No wall-socket power is required. Simply place the AbiSensor on a shelf in high-activity areas within your loved one’s home.

How do I know if the batteries need replacing?

AbiSensors are supplied with Lithium batteries for longevity.
The AbiSensor will send a ‘low battery alert’ to the app when the batteries have 20% power remaining and a ‘critically low battery alert’ when they reach 5% power. We recommend replacing with Lithium batteries when the first alert is received.

NOTE: When installing new batteries into your AbiSensor, you may receive a Critically Low battery warning. Please ignore this warning. Your AbiSensor sends data to the Cloud on an hourly basis, this is the information you can view on the graph within your AbiBird app. After the next Cloud update, which can be up to 1 hour depending on the time the batteries were installed, your battery level will show correctly at 100%.

Alternatively, manually triggering a Request for Contact will update battery level immediately.

What is the range of detection for the AbiSensor?

AbiSensor has a 90⁰ line of site view and a detection range of up to 10 metres.

Has AbiBird been tested and approved for Australian Standards?

Yes, AbiSensor has CE Certification and complies with the Australian Communications Media Authority (ACMA – AS 4607-1999).

What should I do if I have any setup issues or there is a fault or technical issue with my AbiSensor?

We have a number of resources to help you setup your AbiBird(s) and app, including a number of self-help guides that can easily be accessed online at the bottom of this support section.

Please read these guides carefully to see if you can solve any setup issue.

Alternatively, phone 1300 13 21 21 or email details of the problem to support@abibird.com.au and a Customer Care Representative will contact you.
