Bit Switch provides fast, private, and reliable local control for legacy WeMo devices — no cloud required. Discover devices on your local network, control switches and dimmers, view energy usage from Insight plugs, receive motion sensor state, and provision Wi‑Fi securely using AES-encrypted credentials for device setup. Full device support: switches, dimmers, light switches, Insight energy plugs, motion sensors, outdoor plugs, Maker devices, and bridges. Robust discovery: SSDP/UPnP discovery with M‑SEARCH reliable on-network detection. Secure provisioning: built-in Wi‑Fi setup with AES-128-CBC password encryption to keep credentials private during device configuration. Reliable control: improved GetBinaryState / SetBinaryState handling with clear status and error reporting. Usability: streamlined Wi‑Fi setup dialog, password visibility toggle, and status indicators for connection and handshake. Appearance: supports dark mode and refined themes for a modern, readable UI. Why Bit Switch Local-first: device discovery and control happen on your network — no cloud required or used for device control. Privacy-focused: provisioning uses AES encryption; credentials are never sent to external services. Practical: works with a wide range of legacy Belkin WeMo hardware still in the wild. What's New Improved SSDP/UPnP discovery for more reliable on-network detection. Enhanced Wi‑Fi provisioning flow with AES-128-CBC encryption of passwords. UI improvements: clearer Wi‑Fi setup flow, better error messages, and password visibility toggle. Better state handling for GetBinaryState / SetBinaryState calls. Dark mode and theme refinements. Compatibility & Privacy Devices and phone must be on the same Wi‑Fi network. Router must allow UDP multicast for SSDP discovery. Wi‑Fi scanning requires location permission; permissions are requested at runtime and used only for scanning and provisioning. No cloud account required; local network control only.

RedlineAi turns your phone into a professional-grade OBD-II scanner and pairs it with AI that actually explains what your codes mean. No mechanic markup. No guesswork. LIVE OBD-II SCANNER Plug in any Bluetooth LE OBD-II adapter and read your check-engine light in seconds: - Stored, pending, and permanent trouble codes (P, B, C, and U) - Live engine data — RPM, speed, coolant temp, engine load, throttle, intake air - Your VIN, communication protocol, and battery voltage - One-tap export or share, plus a demo mode to try with no adapter INSTANT AI DIAGNOSIS Every code is matched to a clear, plain-English diagnosis: the most likely cause, an honest repair-cost estimate, what to check first, and exactly where to buy the part.
