Lipi.Me

Lipi turns ordinary switches into something you can talk to. Wire a Lipi box behind your existing switchboard and every light, fan and appliance on it answers from your phone — at home or from anywhere — with the switch on the wall still working exactly as it always did. CONTROL • Tap any switch from the dashboard, or turn a whole room on or off at once • Real-time state: what the app shows is what the wall is actually doing • Scenes — "Movie", "Goodnight" — set a whole set of switches in one tap • Rooms, custom names and a dashboard you can rearrange SPEAK • Talk to it in English, Hindi, Hinglish, Marathi or Tamil • Speech is transcribed on your iPhone, by iOS. No recording of your voice is ever uploaded — only the finished text • Or type, if the room is loud SHARE, CAREFULLY • Invite family by phone number • Per-switch permissions: the kids' room light, not the water pump • An activity log of every switch, who flipped it and when • Owners can revoke access at any time SEE • Which of your boxes are online, live • Which phones and laptops are on your home network, and when they arrived — useful for knowing someone got home without asking SET UP • Power the box, join its Wi-Fi, pick your network. A few minutes, no tools • Boxes update themselves over the air Sign-in is a code sent to your WhatsApp number — no password to forget. You can delete your account, and everything attached to it, from inside the app at any time. Requires a Lipi box. Get one at lipi.me.
