hey guys EBPMAN here and today we want to take a look at a new product from
PureGear this is the PureSwitch let's check it out now if you're looking for
home automation you'd like to be able to control the light switches of specific
appliances that they turn on and turn off the lights just control things that
are going around your house you may want to consider the pier switch and the pier
switch is designed to handle two specific use cases one is the fact that
you can plug in appliances light switches to the electrical outlet that
you see right here and two is you can also charge any kind of smart device by
connecting it to this USB port here on the side this is compatible with apple's
homekit product and i'm going to show you why that's important and it also has
its own proprietary app that allows you to manage your control these devices
that are connected throughout your home so take a closer look at the switch
we'll take a look at some of the specs and then we'll see how it works so let's
take a look at some of the features a little bit more closely so this device
is specifically designed to work with your iPhone iPad or iPod touch it does
have the ability to serve as a power plug as well as a smart device charger
literally with this specific unit you're going to be able to control any of the
devices that you have connected to it from from anywhere and it also has that
built in USB charger on the back here we can take a closer look at the specs and
we'll get a little bit closer so you can see what's going on there
a couple things first of all for those of you who are looking at the USB
capabilities this is going to charge at a rate of 2.1 amps which is going to be
sufficient to adequately charge any of your iOS devices and Android devices for
that matter if you do have for example a headphone and a headset you know those
battery backup solutions that you need to charge it it's fine to use that as
well you do also have the ability to plug in a variety of devices and it's
really giving you the output voltage or you know what the capacity is for those
devices that you may want to connect in your home so for example things that you
just turn on and off be a light a lamp it could be a fan it
could be even you know some homes have these these solutions where they have
the lighted effects that you may want during the holidays or let's say even
during Halloween really these type of switches aren't really designed to
control your refrigerator because that's not something that you turn on and off
so just think about anything that you'd want to flip on or off that's what you
would potentially connect this thing - very very compatible again with the iOS
ecosystem it does support Wi-Fi however it does only work with Wi-Fi 2.4
gigahertz so if you have a 5 gigahertz home you'll want to make sure that you
have both bands configured so that it can connect so I went ahead and
connected it to your switch to this LED light and I want to show you that there
are two ways to control lights one is using the pure switch app that's
available on the iOS or Apple marketplace now that is going to be
compatible with all peer switch devices now if you have a home that has a
mixture of devices that are broke peer switch or some other devices that you
want to see collectively on one app then you'd want to use the home application
for that that is part of the apples ecosystem so I went ahead and installed
it everything is working fine I'm going to go into my default room and just want
to show you how things work so I'm going to go ahead and tap Beyond and you'll
notice how I turned it on let's tap off and it turns it off with a click again
on and what we're seeing here the only delay that we're seeing is the delay in
which the light takes to turn on but it's very fast I hear clicking giving me
feedback immediately that it's working very functional now if I go into for
example the home kit app you'll notice that the pure switch is here as well so
I'm going to go ahead and cap it and that also turns it on and I'm going to
hit it again and that turns it off anything about the home application for
Apple is that it required no configuration one
I configured this specific switch to work using the the appeared gear app and
it was part of that ecosystem it automatically recognized that so very
flexible gives you a lot of functionality and it allows you to
control your home devices and one other thing I wanted to add is that this power
port this USB power port does not require to switch to be on or off it is
going to continually supply power to any of your electronic devices as long as
it's plugged in so this concludes my review of the pure gear pure switch for
all your electronic devices in any home that you want to enable home automation

you
now let's take a closer look at the actual switch itself so pretty simple
pretend that this is your wall outlet you plug the switch into it and this is
where you would plug in again your fan whichever electronic device that you
want to turn on the notice here you just have the branding you have a pairing
code here that allows you to connect the switch to an application
here's your USB port you have a light switch here indicating you know that
you're connected to the network and here you have a reset button in the event
that you try to pair this for the very first time and it doesn't work what you
want to do is to press this button once this is plugged in and then it will go
through a reset sequence so that you can connect it so pretty straightforward
it's a light switch right here but this added component gives you the ability to
remote-control it with an app and also charge a smart device
let's see how this works
