The refundable deposit is for the equipment and it will be held until the end of the 2 year contract agreement.
The deposit will be refunded to you at the end of the 2 year contract agreement should you wish to end the subscription to ConnectedLife Independent Living Solution. In the instance where you renew the contract with ConnectedLife, this deposit will be carried forward to the subsequent 2 years.
The billing cycle will only begin once installation is complete.
Your credit card will be charged monthly on the same date as installation.
Upon registration, ConnectedLife will call you in 3-5 days prior to installation date to confirm delivery and installation time. It will take around 30 mins to get the system up and running. It is recommended that the older adult and their family are present during the installation as we would be going through all the functions of the system with you.
You are able to make changes any time up to 72 hours prior to the initial scheduled installation date. Any changes made later than 72 hours will not be applied, and the initial scheduled installation date will hold. Penalty fees apply when no one is at home when ConnectedLife’s engineer turns up on the scheduled installation date.
Once you’ve placed your order, ConnectedLife will send you a confirmation email detailing a checklist of things to prepare before installation. Also, 72 hours prior to the scheduled installation date, ConnectedLife will send you a final installation reminder via email.
There is a minimum contract period of 24 months when signing up for the ConnectedLife Independent Living Solution with the option of renewal at the end of the contract period. If you wish to terminate before the end of the contract period, early termination fees apply.
We are saddened by your loss. In the unfortunate event where the older adult passes on, a compassionate termination will be applied and we would require the Certified True Copy of Death Certificate as supporting document. Early termination fees do not apply in this instance.
The contract will be terminated at the end of 2 years, and there will not be any automatic renewal. If you wish to continue the service after the end of 2 years, we will require you to sign on a new contract. Our friendly staff at ConnectedLife will get in touch with you when your contract is about to end.

SMART HOME SENSOR SYSTEM
Smart Home Sensor System
A wireless and non-intrusive sensor system will be installed in the house of an older adult to enable them to live well within the comforts of their home. With the ConnectedLife app downloaded on your phone, you can check in to see if all is normal and be notified when an emergency or unusual activity happened.
-
DevicePurpose
-
ConnectedLife HubPlaced in a central location, it collects data from all devices in the home
-
Door Contact SensorDetects the opening and closing of doors
-
Motion SensorDetects passive movement
-
Bedside Assistance (RMS)Monitors sleeping patterns, loud noises, movement and includes an emergency button
-
Smart PlugDetects appliance usage
-
Presence TagTracks in/out of home
-
Water Leak SensorDetects standing water (leaks) on the floor surface
-
Smoke SensorDetects smoke (fire)
The system is non-intrusive (no camera-based or audio-recording sensors are used) and the sensors (installed on the walls) only pick up passive movements, so it does not compromise the older adults’ privacy, and they can go about their daily routine without any changes or disruption.
No, existing WiFi is not required in the home. Our hub comes built in with cellular connection for households that do not have WiFi to ensure that the collected data will be sent to our cloud for analytics.
Yes. The hub needs to be switched on at all times so that data from the sensors captured is not lost and will be continuously sent to our cloud for analytics.
ConnectedLife has stringent installation procedures and quality assessment testing to ensure that all sensors are working before our engineer leaves your home. For crucial functions e.g. emergency button, we will test it on site to ensure that all notifications and call flows are running properly. Only once all of our tests have passed, do we close the installation and begin the service. Then on, ConnectedLife monitors the status of all of the sensors in the home. If there is any issue, our team will contact you to address the issue.
Our engineers place the devices in the most optimal location. Please do not move them as that will affect the data collected and accuracy of the analysis. If you have any issues with the device placement, please contact us at hello@connectedlife.io.
There could be varying reasons why you received the hub down notification. If the main switch of the hub is turned off, simply turn it back on.
When the device is running low in battery, simply replace the battery by following the instructions in this video
The sensor batteries last around 6 months. You will receive an app notification when the batteries in the devices reach 20% and less.
If the device suffers hardware failure or a manufacturing defect, it will be replaced without charge. However, if the device is lost or has been damaged due to negligence or misuse, there may be an additional hardware charge to replace the device.
Upon installation, additional devices can be added to the system by our technicians upon request and evaluation. Additional hardware charges apply to your monthly subscription fee.
You may only purchase or add on ConnectedLife approved devices which requires configuration to the hub. Installation of new devices after purchase will be performed by our engineers. Currently the ConnectedLife system is a managed system and we are exploring self installation by users and more recommended connected devices for future updates to the system.

24/7 EMERGENCY RESPONSE & PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
24/7 Emergency Response & Personal Assistance
It is to provide older adults with peace of mind knowing that unwavering care and support are available at any time, especially during times of distress when their family and caregivers are unavailable.
We will activate an automated call back to the older adult’s landline or mobile phone to verify that the button pressed was not a false alarm.
If the older adult does not pick up the phone or confirms that they are having an emergency, family and caregivers are notified immediately to take responsible action. Family and caregivers will need to acknowledge the notification within a timeframe of 15 minutes, otherwise it will be escalated to the 24/7 Personal Assistance team.
In the instance where family and caregivers are unable to acknowledge the notification within the 15 minutes timeframe, the 24/7 Personal Assistance team will try to get in touch with the older adult to ascertain the situation and determine if it is required to escalate to national emergency services.
The service cost has already been included into your monthly subscription fee of S$25 per month. Additional cost incurred from the activation of national emergency services such as but not limited to ambulance, police, SCDF, will be borne entirely by you.
No, there is no option for opting out because the 24/7 Emergency Response & Personal Assistance is part of the ConnectedLife Independent Living Solution. Fret not as we have ensured that sufficient steps are in place such that the service will only be activated in real emergencies.
