Description

Walk less, press less. The Fingerbot is a compact white cube with a push arm that presses the switch, button or garage door opener you already have, and your phone takes it from there. No rewiring, no electrician, and one app for the coffee machine, the lights and the garage.

Turn any traditional switch, button, or garage door opener into a smart, app-controlled device without rewiring

Solves
  • manual operation of existing switches and appliances
  • having to get up to operate a coffee machine
  • opening a garage door on arrival home
  • controlling devices remotely when away from home

Press Any Switch From Your Phone, Without Rewiring

Before: you walk across the room for every light, coffee and garage door. After: one app press handles them, and your old switches keep working as they always did.

A compact arm that presses what you already have

Push arm of the Fingerbot mounted over a wall switch

Physical press, not a replacement

The arm pushes the actual button on your wall, coffee machine or garage opener. The switch stays put, the opener keeps its own remote, and no wires change. Line the arm up with the center of the button and the cube handles every press after that.

Tune press time and travel

Down movement and press time are adjustable in the app. A light switch needs a short, quick push. A stiffer garage button may need a longer one. Change the numbers from your phone until the press is clean, then leave it alone.

Hub optional for away control

At home, the Fingerbot connects to your phone directly, so no hub is needed. The Bluetooth hub is the piece that unlocks remote control when you are out. If you want to open the garage from the driveway or from work, plan for the hub from the start.

Mount it, pair it, and tune the press

  1. 1
    Mount the cube on the switch

    Set the Fingerbot over the switch, button or garage opener button. Line the push arm up with the center of the button so it does not press off to one side.

  2. 2
    Pair it with your phone

    Open the app, add the device over Bluetooth, and wait for the device settings screen to appear.

  3. 3
    Set the invert option if needed

    If the switch works backwards, turn on the invert switch option so a press in the app matches the way the switch should move.

  4. 4
    Tune down movement and press time

    Run a test press from the app. If the arm does not fully push the button, increase the press time. If it strains, shorten it. Adjust until the press is firm and clean.

  5. 5
    Add the hub for remote control

    For control away from home, pair the Bluetooth hub. At home you can skip it and use point-to-point control from your phone.

Stop getting up for switches that were never smart

The walk you keep making

Every morning starts with the same trip. You get up, cross the kitchen, and press the coffee button by hand. The lights work the same way, and so does the garage door at the end of a long drive. None of these switches were built to be smart, so each one asks you to move.

A small arm, a big change

The Fingerbot is a compact white cube with a push arm. You mount it on the button you already use, and the arm presses it when your phone asks. Your wall stays untouched and nothing gets rewired. The same app runs the vacuum, the lamp and the coffee machine from one screen.

Mornings that start themselves

Coffee is already brewing when your feet hit the floor. The garage is already rising when you turn into the driveway. Once the cube is in place, the routine runs from your phone, and the walk to the switch becomes a thing you no longer do.

What to expect as you set it up

  1. First use
    Mounted and paired

    The cube sits on your switch or opener, the app connects, and you run your first press from your phone. Adjust press time if the arm does not fully push the button.

  2. 3 uses
    Settings dialed in

    After a few runs you will know whether the down movement and press time suit that switch. Small tweaks in the app usually fix it.

  3. 30 days
    Part of the routine

    Coffee, lights and the garage run from your phone, and you stop walking over to press them by hand.

Questions and answers

Will it fit my switch, coffee machine or garage door opener?
w
Wanelo · seller

It is built for traditional switches, buttons and garage door openers. The arm presses the center of the button, so line it up before the first test. Check that the button sits where the arm can reach it. Press time and down movement are adjustable in the app to suit different switches.

Do I need the Bluetooth hub, and what works at home without it?
w
Wanelo · seller

No hub is needed for control at home. The Fingerbot connects to your phone over Bluetooth and runs point-to-point. The hub is what unlocks remote control when you are away, so add it if you want to open the garage from the driveway or run devices from work.

Can it invert a switch that is already on the wrong side?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The app includes an invert switch option, so a press runs in the direction your switch needs. Set it once during setup and test a press before you walk away.

Does it work with my phone app without Wi-Fi?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. It connects to your phone over Bluetooth, so at-home control does not depend on Wi-Fi. Stay within Bluetooth range of the cube. Remote control from outside the home is the part that needs the hub.

Is it safe to install on a garage door opener?
w
Wanelo · seller

It mounts on the existing wall button, so the opener itself stays untouched. Keep hands and the arm clear of the door track during the first test press, and confirm the door is in view before you open it from the app.

How is this different from a smart switch?
w
Wanelo · seller

A smart switch replaces the wall hardware and usually needs an electrician. The Fingerbot leaves your switch in place and presses it for you. Installation takes minutes, and the cost stays well below a switch replacement. Start with the one switch you touch most, then decide whether you want more.
