Automatic Pill Dispenser w/WIFI

I am looking for suggestions of models for automatic pill dispensers (preferably with WIFI) people have bought and liked.  I am a caregiver with my mom  living in Independent Living and trying to keep her there.

    Hi Bayla

    I use medminder for my mom.  It has worked well so far.  I fill it every month but you can subscribe to a pharma service to do so.  I get alerts if my mom has not taken the pills , if it’s taken outside the scheduled time etc. you can set up text and email alerts   It’s a monthly fee and you can cancel anytime and I have found customer support excellent    It has a screen which you can input pictures or messages   My mom takes her pills once a day but you can have settings for multiple pill times. Each morning at the designated time the days compartment blinks. If my mom neglects that for 30 min it starts to beep and if she still doesn’t take them I get text   

    I know there have been names of other systems but thus far the past 6 months have worked well for us
