"Very easy. No problems installing or operating it." - Troy
"I have my device and I love it. Works perfectly. I installed it in seconds on my front porch lights. Then I moved it to my swamp cooler which has a heavy switch. The magnets and motor were strong enough to use it on my cooler. I want more units. Simple and easy." -Travis
"At first using it for turning lights and ceiling fans off and on. I will eventually want additional switches to automate lights turning on while not at home." -Eric
"I loved being able to turn the lights off from my bed." -Ricardo
"I no longer have to argue with my wife over who turns the lights off!" -Anonymous

In a world of unkept promises and missed deadlines, we want our backers to feel secure with the purchase they are making. This is why we have implemented our delivery and satisfaction guarantees.
Our first warranty focuses on the promised delivery date of Switchmate. While we might be new at manufacturing, we have met with enough companies and are very confident that we will be able to get your Switchmate to you by the time we stated, if not earlier. Should we not be able to meet this delivery date you have the right to a refund of your pledge amount in lieu of receiving your Switchmate order.
We stand behind the products we make and want you to be happy with the Switchmate you have purchased. This is why we have implemented a 90-day money back guarantee if you aren’t completely satisfied with your Switchmate. In addition to returning your Switchmate to us, all we ask is for you to tell us what went wrong so that we can improve our customer experience going forward. It’s as simple as that.

For years, we've been told that home automation is supposed to make our lives easier but in reality there has been a lot of hassle involved with installing and operating home automation products. We're here to change that.
Switchmate is our flagship product, and we are developing other simple smart home innovations that are more accessible to a greater number of people. With your support, we will be able to develop Switchmate and get this product to more people in the future.

We're a team of engineers and technology enthusiasts doing everything we can to make sure we get Switchmate right.
Our primary background is in medical devices, and we've done engineering at companies including: Apple, Intel, Johnson & Johnson and Thoratec. We know how to build high quality products.
We've been a part of Highway1, the hardware incubator of PCH International, an expert in manufacturing and supply chain management services. As part of this, we've already completed the design and manufacturing, sourcing, and traveled to Shenzhen, China in October to meet with factories in person.
