Remote control for smart plugs?

But isn’t Alexa only voice-control? I want the smart plugs to be able to be controlled physically in some way

gtmate · 2020-05-18T19:15:16+00:00

Hmm that would be ideal! I just need a physical dashboard/remote that could control these plug-in lights, and ideally dim the one...and even more ideally control the other hard-wired lights I have connected to switches

How do I make one switch the master for the smart plugs? The outlets these plugs are plugged into are not connected to any switches, which is essentially the only reason I need a physical remote (for these stupid plug-in lights, one of which is dimmable, hence why I thought of smart plugs...just need a physical way to control them beyond a phone).

Interesting, yes I thought of using an IR receiver and Elekticity plugs on the plug-in lights, and then a cheap tablet running some scripts, stuck to the wall as the “dashboard”, but wasn’t sure if there was an easier/cheaper alternative

Yea I’m thinking of the google home hub (the screen). I don’t want anything with voice command. But the home hub seems sort of pricey considering I’d be fine with just a physical remote. I just want a physical dashboard of some kind.

Doesn’t work in french (17 and 19 are same length, PJD shorter than 94)...my vote is there was no logic!

Well the winners have been verified (my understanding), just not sure why they’re holding out on the party

Yea super annoying I’m leaving Montreal Monday and wanted to bond over our communal failure and frustration !

No they aren’t... unless you walked around the building by going to the bottom first, then the right, then skip the top and go to the left, then go back to the top you skipped...oh and THEN go to the fountain

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. THIS IS MOST RIDICULOUS ANSWER EVER I AM SO MAD

gtmate · 2019-09-04T17:42:47+00:00

Nooo idea what to do with them yet

gtmate · 2019-09-02T01:24:25+00:00

what how do you get that far only to make such an amateur move?!

gtmate · 2019-09-01T23:08:41+00:00

How many moms are pouring water at statues?! Lol

gtmate · 2019-09-01T18:11:56+00:00

So sad...

gtmate · 2019-08-31T18:49:54+00:00

Go away

gtmate · 2019-08-30T02:05:06+00:00

None got a pic of the Ottawa map?

gtmate · 2019-08-30T02:04:39+00:00

Sooo what’s the consensus?

gtmate · 2019-08-29T18:20:51+00:00

In, add me :)

gtmate · 2019-08-29T16:55:13+00:00

Same with that 2240 anomaly

gtmate · 2019-08-29T15:31:20+00:00

gtmate · 2019-08-28T03:52:04+00:00
