There is often a gap between Home automation integrators, who focus on delivering advanced automation systems, and occupational therapists, who focus on the lived experiences, safety, and wellbeing of clients. Ethics provide the common ground. They ensure that both professionals address questions of privacy, informed consent, inclusivity, and cultural sensitivity when designing or recommending home automation. By applying ethical principles, Occupational therapists and integrators can collaborate more effectively, making sure automation does not just “work” technically, but also works appropriately, respectfully, and safely for the people it is intended to support. Ethics keep the focus on empowerment, ensuring technology enhances independence and dignity rather than creating barriers or inequities.
