Logitech Pop Home Switch
We'll still need electrical outlets for the foreseeable future, but the light switch may soon be a thing of the past. The Logitech Pop Home Switch is designed to replace your typical wall switch while being far more versatile. Using a wireless connection with a stationary base — there are those pesky outlets again — it works all over your home, letting you do things like turn on the lights, start a playlist, or lock the door. It's compatible with a whole host of popular products and can perform three actions per switch with press, double-press, and press-and-hold gestures. And since it's also compatible with the company's Harmony hub, you can use the the Pop to dim the lights, turn on your home theater gear, close the blinds, and start a movie, all with a single press. Try finding a regular switch that can do all that.
