1. Smart thermostats - they can connect to his home automation system and allow him to adjust the temperature remotely using his smartphone or voice commands using his smart speaker. You could consider the popular Nest or Ecobee thermostats. These devices can save on energy bills and provide a convenient way to manage home temperatures.

2. Smart plugs - these allow him to control appliances and lamps with his voice or smartphone, remotely turn them on or off, and even set up schedules, all without leaving his seat. You could get him the popular Wemo mini smart plug, which is compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

3. Smart home hub - With a smart home hub, your grandpa could control various smart home devices with one app or even voice commands. You could consider the Google Nest Hub or Amazon Echo Show. These devices allow him to control smart lights, thermostats, cameras, and other connected devices, all from one central location.

4. Smart locks - They can provide a convenient and secure way for him to lock and unlock his home remotely, allow access to family and friends, and even monitor who's coming and going. There are options for all types of door locks, including deadbolts, latch-based locks, and even retrofits.

5. Smart cameras - Allow him to keep an eye on his property with ease. You could consider the popular Nest Cam or Ring Stick-Up Cam for remote monitoring of his home. These cameras are designed to be easy to install and use, can provide high-quality video recordings, and can be accessed from his smartphone or tablet.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
