Logitech’s new ‘POP Home Switch’ lets everyone in the home control smart devices with one button

Logitech announced a new single-button device called the Pop Home Switch, designed to simplify the control of multiple smart home products.

The interactive accessory company says the idea behind the Pop is to free up control of smart devices so that anyone in the home can operate them regardless of whether they have a smartphone and the associated app for each device.

 

POP Home Switch lets everyone in the home control smart lighting, music, and more with the push of a button. Program each switch with up to three custom commands to add creativity and convenience throughout your smart home.

Whether it’s movies, reading, or a party, POP makes it easy to match lighting with lifestyle. Use the POP app to configure your Philips Hue, Insteon, LIFX, or Lutron lights for brightness, warmth, and color—then enjoy simple push-button control.

The palm-sized, wall-mounted switch connects wirelessly to a Bluetooth hub that plugs into a power outlet, and enables users to activate up to three pre-programmed moods with a single, double, or triple press.

A companion mobile app scans local Wi-Fi networks for compatible devices and allows users to create a recipe for each. For example, a recipe called “morning” could be programmed to open the drapes and begin a particular music playlist with a single click of the button.

The Pop supports a range of smart home devices, like Phillips Hue lights, Sonos speakers, LIFX connected bulbs, August locks, and Lutron smart drapes.
