Adam Kos The ingenuity of designers knows no bounds. There are a large number of smart sockets for controlling the home on the market, but they all look equally unsightly. This one, which is currently available as part of a Kickstarter campaign, looks like a runestone, plus you control it with a magic wand.
Is it practical? Probably not. It is funny? Definitely yes. If you are tired of controlling smart sockets purely through mobile phones, here is a really visually appealing alternative that your children will surely love. You can control the entire household with just a wave of a magic wand, like from the world of Harry Potter.
The creators of The Wizard Smart Switch project set themselves the goal of choosing within their own campaigns on Kickstarter for 48 thousand dollars to realize its production. So far, they are just below this limit, when they have slightly over 40 thousand dollars in their account. At the time of writing this article, there are only 8 days left. It can be seen that not every original idea will meet with complete success. This is mainly because this solution is a bit specific and may not completely fit into every modern household.

The principle of operation is simple. You'll have a hub in a socket wherever you place 'runestones', i.e. switches that communicate with the hub, to control the elements in your home. But these stones do not have a classic switch, they are controlled by a magic wand. Here, when you attach to them, the defined action will be performed. It's silly, but quite nice in today's tough world.

Of course, it is directly offered to define control for various types of lights, but also to turn on appliances or players, smart blinds, air conditioning, electronic locks, etc. Up to 32 rune stones, whose battery is rechargeable, can be paired with one hub. If the subsidy limit is reached, it starts to be delivered in November this year, so that you still have time to literally magically control yours Christmas lights. The price starts at 80 pounds (approx. CZK 2). The full price in any resale will then be 400% higher. Of course, there are also other advantageous sets of several stones, mushrooms and wands on offer.
That's magic shit.
I have that too and it's fine. I will take any stick outside and touch any switch. It really works :-D
