5.0 out of 5 starsYou need this.

Every damn day, I pull up to my garage, get out, unlock the front gate, walk down a hall, open the garage door side entrance, press the button to open the garage, walk out the garage, get in car, drive forward, get out, push button to close the garage... EVERY DAY.... Until now.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks like a charm


This is a great invention to automate and schedule things with a physical switch and that can’t be controlled by a smart plug. It’s a little finicky and a bit more bulky than ideal, but I personally don’t know how it could be designed much better given the constraints of the battery size that lasts around 2 years they say and what this thing does.

Put it on our coffee maker and it works perfectly. The 3M sticky pad worked to be stuck and readjusted multiple times which was nice (didn’t know if it was a one and done type adhesive but seems like you can readjust and get multiple uses, plus it comes with a second. It uses low voltage Bluetooth which I was surprised I could easily connect to and use anywhere throughout our house (30-40 ft away). Also, if you set a schedule for the switch, that’s stored in the switch and the Bluetooth device doesn’t need to be around for the switch to automatically be triggered. Since the Bluetooth connection worked well for me, didn’t need the WiFi hub, but I believe you need this if you want to connect to Alex or IFTTT.

The app isn't the most beautiful and intuitive one I’ve seen, but it does the job and seems to be stable, so I’m not going to complain too much. Good product given the niche need and would definitely recommend to others.
