HomeStage 2 ready, 28 Oct 2026: smart bedside table that makes the bedside calls itself (9 calls, 7 alone, 2 assist), call light, floor glow and tone, ATECC608 and tamper switch inside; 11 sensor views checked in the CAD; parts $205 at qty 1, margin 25-46 % (est.); not built

BedsideOne

IEMI's one product for an older parent's bedside: the bedside table and lamp, made smart, so it watches the pills and the nights and makes the bedside calls itself, in one family app

The bedside table next to the bed, at the same size and place, weighs and photographs the family's own weekly pill box and the 'when required' box, sees a night get-up and a walk without the walker with a radar and a walker-spot sensor, hears the oxygen concentrator and a power cut, shows each call on its lamp and floor glow with a chime, and calls the family only when needed. Monitor and remind only.

Who buys it: Adult children of an older parent who lives alone with a pill routine, a walker and often home oxygen; then home-care agencies.
Why it pays: $349 + $5/month instead of $447 + $14/month for PillPerch, OxyCart and PaceRoll bought separately (three apps) plus about $120 for a plain bedside table and lamp (est.).
Target price: $349 per smart bedside table + $5/month family alerts and calls (target)
First-minute wow: At 02:40 Dad's legs swing over the bed edge: the floor glows amber before he stands, he sets off without the walker and the table chimes 'walker please'; he goes back for it. At 08:12 the lamp turns green: Wed AM taken.

What the research found

And how this design answers it

Rev A (28 Oct 2026): the bedside flagship is the bedside table itself. Lamp head: XIAO ESP32-S3 Sense brain with its camera over the pill box and its mic, lamp and call lights, tone, ATECC608, tamper switch. Top: two weigh plates on 1 kg load cells, LD2450 radar turned to the bed, VL53L1X walker-spot sensor, backup cells. Kick board: amber floor glow
Makes the bedside calls itself: dose taken or missed, wrong day, 'when required' too soon, night get-up, set off without the walker, power cut with the cylinder's hours left, concentrator alarm; not back in bed and walking speed assist; unsure means unsure
Folds ParentHome and PillPerch: the nightstand hub, mast, bed eye, cart box and walker pod are gone
Gaps listed: cylinder weight (OxyCart stays listed), walking away from the bedroom (PaceRoll stays listed for physio clinics), falls in other rooms (a worn help button in rev B), pills actually swallowed
Stage 2 (28 Oct 2026): buyer check (Hero now $29.99-59.99 a month with no device to buy, Walabot HOME radar about $179-249, bed-exit alarms $38-94), price kept at $349 + $5/month, parts prices checked ($205 at qty 1), cost and margin table (25-46 %, est.), page FAQs answer the top three buyer questions

Use case

A father who lives alone on pills, a walker and home oxygen

Father at homeDaughter in another cityHome-care agency

01Trigger: a night get-up at 02:40, morning pills at 08:12, a power cut at 11:05
02Detect: the radar sees the bed edge, the walker sensor sees the walker still parked, the plates and camera see Wed AM taken, the mic hears the concentrator stop
03Act: floor glow and 'walker please' at night; green light for the dose; red light and a family alert with the cylinder's hours left
04Log: signed calls, the night summary and the weekly walking speed in one family app

Outcome: The family knows the bedside is watched with one table instead of a hub, a mast, a bed eye, a cart box and a walker pod, and is called only when it matters

How it works

Architecture

01
Sense: weigh plates, a camera over the pill box, a tracking radar, a walker-spot sensor and a mic inside the table
02
Decide: the XIAO ESP32-S3 Sense runs the dose, night and power models and says unsure below the line
03
Show: lamp, call light, floor glow and a chime on the table itself
04
Tell: signed calls over Wi-Fi to the family app, with SMS and voice calls for the serious ones

Open risks we are working on

A hand or a cup over the box hides compartments; those calls go out as unsure
Radar get-up tracks are unproven with two people in one bed; rev A is for a parent who sleeps alone
Hours left on the cylinder are an estimate from the size and flow the family enters, not a measurement
Not a fall detector, medical alert or oxygen controller: it monitors and alerts only
Spills on the top: the load cells are bare bars; spill tests are part of the first build
