Tampa, FL – On October 6th, HometronX launched a Kickstarter campaign for their flagship product, ActuSwitch, a new and revolutionary switch plate that allows you to remotely control your home’s wall switches from any BLE 4.0 enabled smartphone. Unlike other smart appliances, this product installs over existing decor style switches and can be operational in minutes.
“We’ve created a connected device that not only controls things such as your lights and fans, but creates a completely new user experience. Anything that is operated by your decor style wall switch can be controlled with the HometronX ActuSwitch.” – Charles Bucher, founder of HometronX
Using a motorized actuator and bluetooth low energy technology, the product makes it easy to control light switches, fan switches, and more. After removing a home’s old switch plates, users can easily place the battery powered ActuSwitch module over any décor style switch (no wiring required).
Once paired with a bluetooth activated smartphone, the user can control the state of the light switch and turn it on or off via the HometronX mobile app. Users can also schedule lights to turn on or off automatically for home security. In addition, the ActuSwitch module allows the light switch to maintain normal functionality so that any resident can manually operate the switch as desired.
“Never come home to a dark house again. Turn on the lights from your driveway while getting out of your car, or from bed for the kitchen. Worried at night and hearing strange noises? One button will turn on your lights easily and safely.” – HometronX Team.
Charles Bucher, the founder of HometronX, has more than 16 years of entrepreneurial and executive experience. He co-founded Solar Power Industries, a vertically integrated manufacturer of solar ingots, cells and modules, and served as President, Chief Technology and Manufacturing Office and has extensive experience in engineering, product design and development, manufacturing, and corporate management.
After creating the initial prototype, Bucher decided to turn to Kickstarter to help finance the initial production run of ActuSwitch and involve the crowdfunding community in the project. The Kickstarter campaign will run through November 14. In exchange for pledging support, backers of the Kickstarter project can receive an exclusive discounted version of ActuSwitch and get free shipping within the US.
