    I simply litter the area directly around the chair with whoopee cushions, no batteries required

  On a more serious note…

  Looked after frail relative who could fall if got out chair or bed without supervision.

  Funding wasn't available for something like this (but much more expensive!). Constant supervision 24/7 was not possible. (Installed motion detectors in zones around house that called my phone with photos. Limited safe range of movement.) Checking around the clock was exhausting.

  A few years before, old Dick Smith stores were clearing Swan wireless door bells with Pressure Mat for about $6. Mat & push button both had transmitters. Could select 4 chimes, for different uses. Thought might be useful one day. Bought last 3.

  If he got out of bed or chair - all 3 loud receiver alarms would go off around the house. Push buttons by bed & on walker were handy to call for assistance (set to different tone).

  Proved very effective at all hours - as long as he stepped on the large pads (which he couldn't avoid).

  He's now in an Aged Care Facility. They also use floor pressure mats to detect movement.

  Could have wired to detect lack of pressure for alarm when rising from chair, but there was little need. Experience with professional chair sensors in hospital showed they could easily be set off by movement & some false triggered. Fortunately floor pressure mats did not have that issue (unless I stepped on them!).

  Are the types of places buying these going to care about a $20 saving? Like most would be aged care groups and such, probably not buying them off the shelf like this anyway? I guess if caring for someone at home but again wouldn't something like this be covered under NDIS and price not really matter? Am I missing the point of this bargain maybe?

    Most elderly cared for at home aren't covered for items like this. So a saving on care needs is welcomed.

    Even when there is a care package, funds are limited. So there is a difficult choice about where the limited funds are spent.

  It’s damn annoying trying to turn it off. Takes 6-8 tries to turn the alarm off, while trying to keep up with the person who was sitting on it.
