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. See our privacy policy on the support site for details.

Your car just threw a check-engine light. RedlineAi tells you what's wrong, what it costs to fix, and whether you can do it yourself — before you ever set foot in a shop. 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. RECALL CHECKER Enter your VIN and instantly see open safety recalls for your exact vehicle — so you never miss a free factory fix. YOUR GARAGE Save every vehicle, track service history and mileage, and get reminders before maintenance is due. Never miss an oil change again. COMPLETE CODE LIBRARY Look up any OBD-II trouble code, explained in plain language — severity, symptoms, common causes, and typical fixes. ASK AI ANYTHING Chat with an AI mechanic about any noise, warning light, or repair quote and get a straight answer in seconds, day or night. STEP-BY-STEP REPAIR GUIDES For DIY fixes, follow clear instructions with the tools, parts, and time you'll need — and keep the labor cost in your pocket. FAIR-PRICE ESTIMATES See what a repair should actually cost in your area before you walk into a shop, so you never overpay again. Works with common BLE OBD-II adapters (Vgate iCar Pro BLE 4.0, Veepeak BLE+, and similar). A Bluetooth Low Energy ("Bluetooth 4.0") OBD-II adapter is required for live scanning and is sold separately. RedlineAi is built for everyday drivers. Diagnostic guidance is informational and doesn't replace a certified mechanic for safety-critical repairs. Stop guessing. Start driving with confidence. Download RedlineAi today.
