Hi, I'm Mike Neilson, Founder of Switcheroo.

00:00:02.390 --> 00:00:04.389
And this is my house.

00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:06.440
I built Switcheroo to solve a problem with  my lighting inside my home.

00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:09.166
and it turns out that a lot of other people have that same problem as well

00:00:09.167 --> 00:00:11.167
Let me show you.

00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:13.220
A switched outlet is an outlet that is turned

00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:15.279
on and off with a wall switch. Over 50% of houses

00:00:15.355 --> 00:00:18.646
have switched outlets. Odds are, there's one in your home.

00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:21.541
What happens if you want to plug in a lamp and turn it on and off with the switch,

00:00:21.629 --> 00:00:23.864
but it's nowhere near the switched outlet?

00:00:23.890 --> 00:00:27.550
It's a common problem; a wall switch that turns on an outlet somewhere in a room

00:00:27.609 --> 00:00:30.141
but not the outlet that you want it to activate.

00:00:30.190 --> 00:00:33.052
What are your options? Well, first, you could just live with this.

00:00:33.054 --> 00:00:35.159
That's what you've been doing so far, right?

00:00:35.161 --> 00:00:38.899
Except that, in this era of modern technology, this problem should be easy to solve.

00:00:38.939 --> 00:00:40.939
Of course, you could call this guy...

00:00:41.165 --> 00:00:44.911
I'm sure that's not going to be expensive. Or messy.

00:00:45.020 --> 00:00:47.612
Whoa whoa wait wait!!! I have a better idea.

00:00:47.753 --> 00:00:49.753
And I call it "Switcheroo."

00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:51.799
Simply plug a Switcheroo into your switched outlet

00:00:51.850 --> 00:00:53.850
set the selector dial to "send." Then, set one

00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:55.890
or even many Switcheroos to "receive" mode,

00:00:55.893 --> 00:00:59.142
set them to the same channel, and plug them into any other outlets around your house.

00:00:59.170 --> 00:01:02.460
Or, use different channels to set up various configurations throughout your house.

00:01:02.462 --> 00:01:04.932
Turn on all of your Christmas lights with one switch.

00:01:04.933 --> 00:01:06.933
No problem.

00:01:06.980 --> 00:01:08.980
The "smart home" space is crowded. There are tons of existing products out there

00:01:09.049 --> 00:01:11.049
that can solve a problem like this.

00:01:11.129 --> 00:01:14.450
But they require the use of your cell phone to turn your lights on and off.

00:01:14.503 --> 00:01:16.503
But our product is different. It means that Switcheroo doesn't

00:01:16.537 --> 00:01:18.537
have to connect to your Wifi. It doesn't stop working

00:01:18.539 --> 00:01:20.873
when your WiFi goes out or you get a new router.

00:01:20.909 --> 00:01:22.909
and it doesn't need an app to work.

00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:24.959
I have assembled a team of designers and engineers

00:01:24.959 --> 00:01:26.959
and we've been working for two years to perfect

00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:28.960
the electronics and the industrial design.

00:01:29.004 --> 00:01:31.992
so that Switcheroo looks as good as it works.

00:01:32.510 --> 00:01:34.510
We have put a lot of effort into creating Switcheroo.

00:01:34.510 --> 00:01:36.510
Our team has worked night and day

00:01:36.512 --> 00:01:38.512
to create the best quality product.

00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.528
We have a final prototype, and it's ready for mass production.

00:01:41.670 --> 00:01:44.909
And now we need your help to bring this amazing product to everyone.

00:01:45.140 --> 00:01:47.140
Back this Kickstarter today

00:01:47.209 --> 00:01:49.209
so that you can have Switcheroo in your home.
