Key facts
- Sensors: battery-operated passive motion sensors, door sensors and cabinet sensors connected to an internet hub (envoyathome.com, checked 2026-09-06).
- What it claims about falls, in the vendor's words: "We find the immobility that follows not only hard falls, but also low impact 'soft' falls that wearables can miss - and FAST, before the long lie becomes the long consequence." (envoyathome.com, checked 2026-09-06). Note the framing: it finds immobility after a fall, not the fall itself.
- Market: the service is described as "sold as a consumer subscription directly to family caregivers of older adults who live independently in the United States" (envoyathome.com, checked 2026-09-06).
- Price: $399 one-time equipment fee plus $99 per month, no contract, cancel any time, with a military and first-responder discount (envoyathome.com, checked 2026-09-06). The page does not state the currency; we do not assume it.
- Nothing worn, nothing recorded: no camera, no microphone, no wearable (envoyathome.com, checked 2026-09-06).

What the company publishes
envoyatHome is the closest thing in this directory to a philosophical sibling of a presence-and-stillness sensor, built out of cheaper parts. Instead of one radar unit reading a room, it scatters simple binary sensors — motion here, door there, a cabinet that should open at breakfast — and looks at the pattern they make together. If the pattern stops, someone is told.
The company's language about falls is more careful than most, and it is careful in a way worth copying. It does not say the sensors see a fall. It says they find the immobility that follows one, including the low-impact falls a pendant's accelerometer never registers. That is an honest description of what a motion sensor can and cannot know, and it is also, unavoidably, a description of a system that finds out late rather than instantly.
The trade-off is coverage detail. A door sensor knows a door opened; it does not know who opened it or whether they came back. A motion sensor in a hallway knows something moved; it cannot tell a still person from an empty room, which is exactly the case that matters after a fall. Systems of this design compensate with time — the alert comes from an absence that lasts, not from an event.
What we could not confirm
envoyatHome publishes its price openly, which is rare in this category and to its credit. What it does not publish is the currency, where customer data is stored, or any Canadian offering. Its own description of the market is the United States. We record Canadian availability as not publicly stated rather than as a refusal, because the site does not say it will not sell to Canada — it simply describes a US service.
In the compare table envoyatHome sits in the "Canadian availability not confirmed" group.
Frequently asked questions
Does envoyatHome detect falls?
It does not claim to. Its wording is that it finds "the immobility that follows" hard and soft falls. That is an inactivity claim, not a fall-detection claim.
Is there a camera or a microphone?
No, neither.
What does it cost?
$399 one-time for equipment plus $99 per month with no contract, per its own site. The currency is not stated on that page.
Is it available in Canada?
Not publicly stated. The site describes the subscription as sold to family caregivers of older adults living independently in the United States.
Where WalledCare fits
WalledCare, made by the publisher of this directory, reports the same kind of information from a different sensor. It is a camera-free millimetre-wave radar room sensor reporting presence, movement, prolonged stillness and prolonged inactivity, room by room. The difference from a PIR-based system is that radar can tell a still person from an empty room; the similarity is the honesty of the claim. WalledCare does not detect falls, does not measure breathing, and is not a medical device.
