I’m thrilled to find that something which has ended up being a little obsession in my life is somewhat fascinating to others! as well as I’m ever so thankful to Automate Home for picking-up on my project. The all-singing, all-dancing house automation wall controller was born out of irritation with the direction in which many IoT gadgets seem to be going.

This elegant lightswitch is developed to hide a excellent offer of complexity, such as the capability to manage your heating, screen temperatures as well as alarms, places of household members, audio control, etc., whilst not plunging your granny into darkness since it’s “all as well complicated”. My suitable wall controller can be summed-up as “complexity in disguise” – a swish as well as easy looking lightswitch with hidden gems under the bonnet. There’s still a long method to go before this product is prepared for market, however the prototype is working a treat as well as I hope someday it may be a fine addition to your home!
