The safest check-in is the one no one has to make.
Passive Check-In quietly confirms a resident is up and about — no call, no text. On a quiet morning, the trusted check-in call still goes out automatically. Passive by sensor, active by call: one daily wellness check.
An optional add-on to your daily check-in. Works with the Zigbee sensors you already own — including existing K4Connect hardware — with no hardware to buy from us.
Everyday movement completes the day's check-in. No call, no text, nothing to answer.
No sign of activity by check-in time triggers the same trusted call — automatically, with the usual retries.
A person is paged for a genuine non-response — never a quiet sensor. A dead battery falls back to the call, never a false alarm.
Independence, with a safety net they never feel.
The whole point of independent living is not being managed. Passive Check-In keeps it that way — the reassurance happens in the background.
Most mornings: nothing at all
No call to answer, no button to press, nothing to remember. Just getting up and moving about confirms they're well.
Dignity, kept
No cameras, no microphones, no wearables. Just simple motion — a private daily yes/no, never surveillance.
The safety net never leaves
On a quiet morning, the familiar check-in call they already trust still goes out — so a real problem is never missed.
Coverage without the chasing.
No alert fatigue
Sensor-only systems ping your team for every quiet room. Passive Check-In reaches the resident itself first, and only pages a person for a genuine non-response.
The system resolves the ambiguity
A quiet sensor could be a nap, a dead battery, or a real emergency. Instead of sending staff to find out, RCI calls the resident and gets the answer.
One dashboard, one record
Passive and active check-ins land on the same live screen you already use, with a complete timestamped history for compliance.
on a normal day
We pre-configure it. You plug it in.
No truck roll, no installers, no IT project. Setup is software-side and takes minutes once the hardware arrives.
Get sensors
Use the Zigbee sensors you already own (including K4Connect), or buy inexpensive ones direct (~$30/room) shipped straight to you.
Order one hub
A single plug-in Zigbee coordinator (the SMLIGHT SLZB-06, ~$85, reads up to 50 sensors) — drop-shipped to us.
We configure & ship it
We set the hub up for your community and mail it back ready to go. You just plug it into power and your network.
Pair & go live
In the ResidentCheckin software, pair each sensor to a resident and switch passive on — for whoever you choose. Everyone else keeps their call/text/Alexa check-in.
Bring your own sensors. No markup, ever.
ResidentCheckin is hardware-neutral. We read from standard Zigbee motion and presence sensors — we don't sell, install, or mark up hardware, and there's nothing proprietary to lock you in.
Already have sensors?
Keep them — including existing K4Connect hardware. If they're Zigbee, we can almost always read from them.
Need sensors?
Buy inexpensive off-the-shelf Zigbee ones direct — e.g. the SONOFF SNZB-03P or Aqara Motion Sensor P1.
One hub per 50 rooms
The SMLIGHT SLZB-06 coordinator (~$85) links up to 50 sensors. Most single buildings need just one.

A daily yes/no — never surveillance.
We built our reputation on respecting residents' independence, and Passive Check-In keeps it that way.
No cameras, microphones, or wearables. Simple motion/presence signals only.
Opt-in, per resident. Enabled only with consent; a resident can opt out any time and revert to the call.
No sleep or behavioral tracking. Just "was there movement in the window?" — a daily yes/no.
A sensor never sounds an alarm on its own. The confirming call is always the safety net.
An optional layer on your plan.
Software only — you own the sensors. Added on top of your active check-in plan.
Each on-site hub connecting your sensors to ResidentCheckin.
For each resident whose room you monitor passively.
Hardware is a one-time cost you buy direct (~$30/room + an $85 hub per 50 rooms) — no fee or markup from us. See full pricing →
Quick questions
Do residents have to do anything differently?
No — the opposite. On an active day, movement confirms them with nothing to answer. Only a quiet morning brings the same call they already know.
Is this surveillance?
No. No cameras, microphones, or wearables — only simple motion/presence signals, opt-in per resident, used for a daily yes/no. No sleep or behavioral tracking.
Can we reuse our K4Connect or other Zigbee sensors?
In most cases yes — ResidentCheckin reads from the Zigbee sensors you already own, including K4Connect hardware. We don't sell or mark up hardware.
Do we have to use it for everyone?
No. Turn passive on for the residents you choose; everyone else keeps their call, text, or Alexa check-in. Start with a few and expand.
