Bedrooms and kids’ rooms

In a bedroom you want the blinds down, the heating right and the lights off without getting up. In a child's room you want them to have their own lights and a nightlight, and nothing else to wander into.

The case for Switchboard

Replaces the switches by the door and the thermostat on the landing. The lights, blinds and the room’s heating are on the remote by the bed.
A child’s remote shows only their room. Give it a layout with their lights, their nightlight colours and their speaker. There’s nothing on it that turns off the rest of the house.
Plain English, big buttons. Children who can read Bedtime and Nightlight can use it. Younger ones learn where the buttons are.
Dark at night. E-ink doesn’t glow, so it doesn’t light up the room or keep anyone awake. The shade lights it only when you need it.
A month on a charge. It lives on the bedside table, not on a cable.

Setting it up

Give each bedroom its own remote layout. The Climate page controls the room’s heating zone.
