Nifty little thing. Allows very convenient control of BleBox devices, or pretty much anything if you know what you're doing.
I've got it installed behind 3cm of solid wood paneling and it works great after turning the sensitivity up.
Wiring is simple: just power.
The adhesive backing looks like a joke with how little of it there is, but it works fine.
You can use a variety of triggers, so there's some cool stuff you can do. Short click & long click, keeping a light on only while touching it, etc.
Setup in the app is fairly simple, except for the "API call" required for controlling another device.
Being a software dev, what to put was easy for me to figure out, but anyone who doesn't know how a REST API works is going to have a hard time.
Here are the steps to find the docs you need for the "API call":
- In the app, go to the settings of the device you want to control.
- Open "Details, updates and help"
- Make a note of the "API type" and "API level".
- Open https://technical.blebox.eu/
- Under the "APIs list by API type" heading, find the item the matches the "API type" you made a note of, and open the link that matches the "API level".
- The section you need for the "Control another device" action is titled "Control with GET".
Each command is listed, usually with a description.
The actual text to put in the "API call" box in the app is next to the green box labeled "GET". This is in the right sidebar on desktop, and underneath the description on mobile.
Example command: "/s/offon/last" ("Toggle (ON/OFF last state)" for wLightBox devices)
If there is text in curly braces (e.g., "{channels}"), you must replace this with a value as per the command description.
If you need any assistance, there is always the live chat on the website.
