the simpleSwitch

It's not often that we find ourselves outright giddy when hearing about a new product. However, after speaking recently with the folks over at simpleSwitch we found that we couldn't hold back our excitement.

​The simpleSwitch is a solution for expanding home power for new appliances or (here's where we get excited) EV charging needs. It gets wired into an existing electrical circuit to provide a simple switching between two devices or loads. You can assign a primary device, like an electric range, and a secondary device like an EV charger.

The simpleSwitch senses when a primary device is not in use and switches power to the secondary device. For example, I could have my car plugged in and charging, using the circuit that my electric range uses. But do I want to have to unplug one and then plug in the other in order to start dinner>? Don't have to! With the simpleSwitch all that I have to do is turn on the electric range and it will stop the EV charging. When I'm done with preparing dinner and turn off the range, the simpleSwitch will turn back on the power to the EV charger all by itself!

It really is that simple. Now, there are many different potential applications for this device that are too numerous to put on this page so we'll keep to the EV Charging.

So why is this so important? Well, many older houses or condos electrical systems aren't designed to be able to add an additional circuit for EV charging or if it IS possible, it ends up being really expensive! By integrating the simpleSwitch, you can bypass the hassle and expense and use the existing wiring that is already present. It saves time, saves money, but most importantly... it just makes sense.

This is NOT a paid endorsement, we just really think it's cool!
