Make all your traditional buttons and switches smart. Controlled through App, voice, automation…

Story

From telling bulbs to change colors, to turn off a smart socket on your phone, smart controls have made our lives much easier. But there are also scenarios where a modern smart solution is expensive, troublesome, or even cannot be found.

 

Brand new smart products could be expensive and troublesome

These traditional devices have one thing in common: they all have buttons and switches for your fingers to control. To this end, we created Fingerbot Plus to help you smartly control 99% of existing buttons and switches, and eventually give you smart control over your appliances.

 

We are a small team dedicated to bringing the world user-friendly and creative smart life experiences. Thanks to our wonderful community, we have successfully run two crowdfund campaigns and have delivered both of them.

 

 

Fingerbot Plus is designed to smart your traditional buttons and switches by helping you physically trigger them. Just peel off the 3M tape it comes with, and you are ready to enjoy. Using with Adaprox HomeHub and Fingerbot Toolpack,  more smart functions and scenarios are to be discovered.  

Easy installation

Control through App

With just one tap on our App, your buttons and switches will be instantly controlled from a distance.

 

Control through voice commands (HomeHub required)

No more getting out of the car to shut the garage door! Used with Adaprox HomeHub, the Fingerbot Plus now obeys your voice commands. You can tell it to close the garage door through your favorite voice assistants.

 

Control with touchpad

Fingerbot Plus never makes things harder. With the embedded touchpad, you can still manually control your buttons and switches without being blocked by Fingerbot Plus.

 

Triggering Fingerbot Plus by yourself is basic. Thanks to the Adaprox cloud service, Fingerbot Plus can trigger itself by various means.

Home automation (HomeHub required)

Fingerbot Plus can automate with your other Adaprox smart devices. Setup an automation in the App, and your Fingerbot Plus will shut down your air purifier when you open the window.

 

Schedulers

We all have routines in our lives: a cup of coffee in the morning,  turn off the lights before sleep. Set schedulers and tell Fingerbot Plus about your routine, and it will make you coffee every morning.

 

Customized loops

Fingerbot Plus now supports customized loops. With our intuitive App interface, you can ask your Fingerbot to click your keyboard once every 5 minutes, and your slack will always be online.
 

Third-party integrations (HomeHub required)

Fingerbot Plus is compatible with multiple third-party services, including Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT. With these services integrated, you can have your Fingerbot Plus work with other smart products of different brands or customized events! 

 

We understand you have buttons and switches of various dimensions and trigger conditions. And that’s why we keep working hard to even just fit one more scenario. 

Adjustable moving ranges

You can customize how deep your Fingerbot Plus should push and how high it should pull up to suit your scenario.

Compatible with different buttons & switches (Toolpack required)

With Fingerbot Toolpack, switches of different types are all supported. Whether it is a normal button, a button requires to be held, a rocker switch, or a toggle switch, Fingerbot Plus will perfectly do its job.

Always give you enough power

Power has been increased by 67% to 15N (1.5Kg equivalent), don’t worry about the force!

 

Longer moving range 

The maximum moving range increased by 50% to 12mm, covering 99.9% of existing switches.

 

Customize your unique arm 

The arm is 3D-print supported, and we provide a template for you to design your own unique arms. Stop worrying about your special scenario that cannot be fit!

Supply chain

After successfully bringing two projects alive through Kickstarter, we are now very familiar with the manufacturing process.  We have already built a great partnership with several reliable suppliers and factories in China, and we are confident to deliver Fingerbot Plus on time.

Risks and challenges

We are very confident in our abilities to deliver Fingerbot Plus on time. But all manufacturing and creative process come with risks. And we think it is our duty to share some of them with you.

Component supply: The products contain a significant amount of components. These components come from different suppliers who have different delivery times for their components. We have already initialized the cooperation and were given their expected delivery time. But if one of these suppliers has a short supply or an unexpected long lead time, the entire production can be delayed. In this scenario, we will spare no effort in pushing the suppliers as well as finding substitutes.

Design enhancements: the quality of products you receive is always our top concern. Thus if we find any place that should be improved for Fingerbot Plus, we will do further studies and make adjustments based on our capability. These enhancements can be tricky to execute and could cause delays. We will do everything we can to ensure that the products ship with superior quality, but it is hard to know beforehand whether such possible enhancements exist.

Shipment: although we can do our best in designing and manufacturing, we have relatively less control over the shipping process. We guarantee that we will ship all backer’s orders and reship them if they are lost during the shipment. We will provide all information and help we can to assist with your customs clearance, but it is the backer’s responsibility to cooperate with their local customs if their rewards were stuck.
