Hey guys

We spent time this summer, updating the Android app for Switchbox, so it aligns with the Iphone/Ipad app and offers the same features. Happy to help, and you can download for free here.

Enjoy your switchbox this winter, and make sure to get your internal SIM cards in order before the cold season is here.

I updated. Saw some of the Play store reviews and agree that the sync issues were a PITA. Not knowing if it was really on or off just sucked. And thinking it was on only to show up and see it has been off was pretty irritating.

I see yo commented these issues were corrected. Can you explain how the box/app will correctly display the status now? Will the app ping it for a status update occasionally or....?
 
Yep, we fixed the sync button and introduced 2-way communication and feedback for you guys.

So if the app sends a message to turn on outlet 2, for example.
Now on the app you will see
"SUCCESS -- Outlet 2 is ON"

An easy pop-up notification that confirms the switchbox sent this command to the servers.

Pretty cool, and works the same as here now
