Quiet signals, turned into plain reassurance.
Edgar isn't a camera or a panic button. It's ambient sensors plus interpretation — the part that turns raw activity into words a busy family can trust.
Order & install
A kit arrives next day. Edgar's assistant guides you through placing each sensor — no tools, no wiring, about fifteen minutes.
A few minutesEdgar learns the rhythm
For two to three weeks it quietly learns when your parent wakes, eats, moves and rests — building a picture of their own normal, not a generic one.
~2–3 weeksReassurance in plain words
Every day you open Edgar to a single warm sentence: "Margot is having a normal day." Detail is there if you want it, never demanded.
Many times a dayGentle, tiered alerts
If something drifts from normal, Edgar speaks up — softly for small things, clearly for urgent ones. Always worth trusting, never noisy.
Only when it mattersWhat Edgar senses — and what it never does.
A handful of small, ambient sensors — movement, presence, doors and a kettle vibration sensor. They feel the shape of a day, not the detail of a life.
Movement
Quiet motion sensors sense activity room to room — that someone's up and about.
Doors
Contact sensors notice coming and going, like a morning walk or the post.
Kitchen
Activity around the kettle and fridge stands in for meals and tea.
Rest
A bed pad senses sleep and rising — with no wearable to charge or forget.
The cleverness is in the translation.
Anyone can log a sensor firing. Edgar's work is reading a whole day at once and saying what it means — in the language you'd use to reassure a sibling on the phone.
See how we protect it"Up at 7:40, made her tea, and out for the morning walk by half past nine."
Alerts are precious, so they're tiered.
A family that mutes Edgar is a family Edgar failed. Severity is matched to the moment.
"A quieter morning than usual."
Soft, never alarming. Waits for quiet hours. Often nothing — but worth a glance.
"No activity detected — please check in."
Clear and immediate. Reaches the family in order, until someone says "I've got it."
See the sensors, kept calm.
This is the real companion: each sensor with its battery and last-seen, a gentle low-battery nudge — and the same warm voice everywhere else. Switch sections in the app's own sidebar.
