## Before you begin
- [ ] I read the tutorial authority and stop conditions.
- [ ] I have the required equipment/space or a declared accessible alternative.

## Canonical source context

Rina chooses one low-risk lamp action and keeps a reachable manual switch and support-person call signal throughout the session. The assistive-technology team configures access while Rina practises activation, confirmation, cancellation, false-command detection and network-loss recovery. Nothing here authorises control of heat, cooking, medication, doors or security.

Target outcome: With the assistive-technology team, the user activates, confirms and cancels a chosen low-risk device action, detects false commands and recovers from network loss.

### Authority and setup conditions

- Have the qualified assistive-technology team approve the user goal, access method, device and permissions.
- Use a low-risk training lamp and verify manual/human fallback before pairing.
- Start check for Environmental control systems: Scope and permissions cover only the training lamp.
- Top-of-sheet stop for Environmental control systems: Stop for repeated false commands, inaccessible cancel, uncertain state, switch shift, fatigue or distress.

### Required or supplied materials

- Declared Environmental control systems fixture: Rina chooses to turn a training lamp on and off from a configured switch. The team also provides a reachable manual lamp switch and a call signal to a support person.
- Setup aid for Assess reliable access: Use a low-risk training lamp and verify manual/human fallback before pairing.
- Environmental control systems log: Correct and false commands, time, assistance avoided, user control, failure recovery, maintenance and home participation; retain Environmental control systems errors, assistance, stop and fallback.
- Environmental-control evidence card: from “How do environmental control systems affect mental health and psychological well-being? A pilot study”, record configured functions and wellbeing outcomes. From the eye-gaze multicentre study, record access method, communication or independence outcome and support. Use the WHO/UNICEF report to document Rina’s lamp goal, manual switch and human fallback; these sources do not authorise higher-risk appliances.
- Ten supplied prompt cards; the technician resets the printed start state before each trial: 1 OFF→turn ON; 2 ON→turn OFF; 3 OFF→NO ACTION; 4 ON→NO ACTION; 5 OFF→turn ON; 6 ON→turn OFF; 7 OFF→NO ACTION; 8 OFF→turn ON; 9 ON→NO ACTION; 10 ON→turn OFF. Score a no-action trial correct only when the lamp state does not change and no command is emitted.

## 1. Choose the user-prioritised action

Rina confirms “lamp on/off” as useful and identifies who may change settings; no one adds door, heat or appliance control.

Why: Scope and permissions cover only the training lamp.

Success check: Scope and permissions cover only the training lamp.

Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “Scope and permissions cover only the training lamp.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

## 2. Assess reliable access

The qualified team checks switch position, activation force, posture, fatigue, vision/hearing and false-hit risk.

Why: Rina can intentionally activate and withhold activation in the tested position.

Success check: Rina can intentionally activate and withhold activation in the tested position.

Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “Rina can intentionally activate and withhold activation in the tested position.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

Learner notes:

## 3. Configure least privilege

The technician pairs only the lamp, labels on/off state and disables remote routines or other devices.

Why: A command cannot reach an unapproved device.

Success check: A command cannot reach an unapproved device.

Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “A command cannot reach an unapproved device.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

Learner notes:

## 4. Teach activate–confirm–cancel

Rina presses once, checks the visible lamp-state cue and uses the agreed cancel/off action before another command.

Why: The lamp reaches the intended state and the user can reverse it.

Success check: The lamp reaches the intended state and the user can reverse it.

Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The lamp reaches the intended state and the user can reverse it.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

## 5. Practise ten trials

Mix on, off and no-action prompts; record correct commands, misses, false commands, time and assistance.

Why: All prompts, including no-action trials, are scored.

Success check: All prompts, including no-action trials, are scored.

Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “All prompts, including no-action trials, are scored.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

Learner notes:

Completed: [ ]

## 6. Test ambiguous activation

Deliberately place the switch near but not at the reliable position; if false hits rise, stop and restore the assessed setup.

Why: Configuration error is detected rather than trained through.

Success check: Configuration error is detected rather than trained through.

Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “Configuration error is detected rather than trained through.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

Learner notes:

## 7. Simulate network or power loss

The technician disconnects the safe training link; Rina uses the manual switch or call signal and the team confirms the device’s fail state.

Why: The fallback works without repeated commands.

Success check: The fallback works without repeated commands.

Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “The fallback works without repeated commands.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check

Learner notes:

## 8. Review maintenance and control

Record user satisfaction, burden, false operations, update owner and review date; Rina decides whether to keep the action.

Why: User control and failure recovery accompany performance data.

Success check: User control and failure recovery accompany performance data.

Accessible alternative: Ask the qualified provider to adapt positioning, cue modality, pace, interface or rest while preserving this step’s declared check: “User control and failure recovery accompany performance data.” If an adaptation changes the measured task or configuration, record it as a different configuration rather than an equivalent attempt.

Alternative relationship: Conditional equivalence requires target and configuration check
