On: Netflix Switch – dim lights, turn on the TV, order...

This can already be achieved with Flic: http://flic.io Flic is a Bluetooth button which uses your smartphone to communicate with smart electronics. If you have Philips Hue or LIFX smart lights and a Logitech Harmony Hub (for IR), this would work straight out of the box! (Disclaimer: I am associated with Flic)

But you're not shipping Flic yet, are you?

Does that require a phone nearby at all times?

I'd also be interested in this. Would love such a button that could connect via WiFi or generic BT on a Raspberry Pi or something like that, rather than a smartphone with a specific app.

For the time being, you need a smartphone. But we are currently looking into other areas to expand the use of our product.

Nice, seems like a cool startup.
