Frequently asked questions
Will it work on my switch?
If your switch is a flat rocker (paddle) or a push button, yes. If it is a toggle, the small lever that flips up and down, not yet. When in doubt, order it: if it doesn't fit, the 30-day guarantee refunds you in full and you keep the kit.
Does my switch still work by hand?
Yes. The Bedswitch arm sits beside the switch, not on top of it. You can press the switch yourself any time.
Do I need an app, Wi-Fi, or an account?
No. Bedswitch is controlled by the remote and the wireless wall button that come in the box. There is nothing to download and nothing to pair with your phone.
How far does the remote reach?
It's a radio remote, not infrared, so it doesn't need a line of sight. It works from bed, from the couch, and from the next room.
Is it loud?
A soft click, about like pressing the switch by hand.
How is it powered?
The arm has a built-in rechargeable battery and charges over USB-C with the included cable, so there are no batteries to replace in it. At a few presses a day you'll charge it rarely. The remote and the wall button use small replaceable batteries.
Will the adhesive damage my wall or switch plate?
It is designed to peel off cleanly from smooth painted walls and plastic switch plates. On textured, wallpapered, or freshly painted walls, test a small spot first.
Can I use two Bedswitches in one house?
Yes. Each kit comes paired as its own set, so the bedroom remote controls the bedroom arm and the hallway kit controls the hallway light.
Can I control it from my phone?
No, and that is on purpose. If you want a phone app, this isn't the product for you.
