This is a Levoit Vital 100 and it has a timer to switch itself off after x hours but i’d like to turn it on automatically.
I’m somewhat fit with soldering and taking stuff apart but i don’t wanna go that route before i have atleast a rough understanding of what’s up with those buttons.
Thx! 🙂
Yes. SwitchBot is the biggie but there are a ton of knockoffs (google “smart button pusher”). The catch is that the security is crap - fine for what you’re doing, but I wouldn’t use it for a garage door, for instance.
I think you’d need a shortcut or script on a computer to run a scheduled task or cron job to start it, but pretty sure that’s available too. (Note - looked at them briefly, just wanted to respond while it was fresh in my mind)
it works for capacitive buttons?
It doesn’t look that way. https://us.switch-bot.com/pages/switchbot-bot
I don’t see why you couldn’t stick something capacitive to the dingus.
iirc there’s a common mod with aluminum foil tape which makes them work great with capacitive touch buttons. For some reason I remember it having to touch the negative terminal for the battery too.
