Simple to Use
The Pop is very simple and fascinated to use. It is a great purchase for all those who want a simple device without any degree of complication. People of all ages and capacities will find it useful. The Pop Home Switch also lets you combine commands for different devices with each trigger. It adds creativity and convenience to your smart home by programming each switch with up to three custom commands.
Different Results
Logitech says, “Each switch can trigger three actions using different presses — a single press, a double press, and a long press. For example, you can set individual switches to turn smart products on/off, adjust brightness and scene presets, or quickly access your favorite Sonos music playlists and stations.” Pop Home Switch reacts differently to a single press, a double press, and a long press.
Corresponding App
The Pop app is also available for android and iPhone users. This free app scans the Wi-Fi network for compatible devices in the home and allows you to assign individual devices to a switch.
