lights, coffee, turning stuff on, etc

the product in that webpage is terrible

but the idea is useful

Yeah I guess.

why not just hot wire the buttons to an antenna

and use a dumb phone app

^

that's my end goal in 3 months

There are so many more elegant solutions

but i gotta learn to write apps

I don't even want an antenna or an app, I just want to be able to electrically override the button without having to care about the electronics behind the button or hack the plastic casing sometimes

I have some wifi enabled lights, expensive. But it's pretty sweet turning my bedroom to a brothel

or be able to remove everything relatively easily

ur gon run into structure problems

me htinks

if you use wifi then the NSA and GCHQ can hack your lights

how so? A servo that can press a button shouldn't need to be bigger than half-thumb size, no?

the servo has to stay in one place

the servo vibrates

duct tape

you think tape would fail too quickly?

i would guess maybe 10 hits and it would flap off

fucking hipsters.

even industrial tape?

idk

fug

these are the first things coming to my mind

I'm looking for an old walkman, but they're like 100+

just get up and turn the lights off

yeah it's a legit objection

if it ain't gonna stay it ain't gon work

so I should be searching for servos then?

u shud watch a youtube video

Like, it would work.

of servos

to see if that concern even matters

It's just the fact that it's gonna move

Maybe not much

But you just have to mount it to shit properly.

this is just
