Your prayers of possessing the power of telekinesis to turn off the light switch before bed or turn on that coffee machine to have the water all heated up right before you’re awake have been answered. Well, not literally, but it is as easy as it would be. Most importantly, the worst part is over:
Meet SwitchBot, a device that clings onto a button and has nothing better to do other than helping you push that button. But it’s not as hopeless as it sounds. It has built-in Bluetooth technology and an app (iOS and Android) which you can use to connect to it, allowing you to remotely (within the range of 80 meters) have access to the feature. This app also allows you to connect to an unlimited number of SwitchBots and set timers on them to automate the whole thing.
Here are seven unimaginable ways to use it.
1. Buzzing someone into the apartment.
2. Preheat the sauna.
3. Giveaway a round of game on a vending machine.
4. Refresh the web browser every 3 hours.
5. Activate a robotic vacuum cleaner.
6. Push the skip button on an old CD player.
7. Set up a schedule and a curfew on a fully automatic pet door.
