I used it for testing smart meters in Norway, so we did not need to run to the lab to trigger events. The best part is that the whole menu is interactive by just one physical button, a great job for a Bluetooth button pusher + Python.
It is also capacitive so it work on the phone screen, and YubiKeys (?)
I like the concept but the price is steep IMO. $90 for two actuators in the starter kit then $40 for each additional module.
I wonder if one could design a similar solution without requiring a bridge. Although of course given the power consumption adding WiFi on the actuators might not be a great idea.
That may be the case but it doesn't change the fact that I can't think of a use for these that is worth $40. I think the value these would add to my life would be worth closer to $5/each.
Now, if they existed for $5 each, I would be all over it and buy 10
I mean, for a power supply, bluetooth receiver/chipset, actuator... I don't think I cobble together something half as good for twice as much, and that's not factoring in labor.
