Clapper The Original Home Automation Sound Activated Device, On/Off Light Switch, Clap Detection, As Seen On TV

Wish I had this sooner. I don’t know why it is advertised just for Christmas. It works great!

I purchased this for my mother who has very poor dexterity due to arthritis. She is able to clap - although a bit weakly so. Nevertheless, she can now control her room light instead of waiting for us to come by and adjust her lighting for her. Some days, as we were working or running errands, she would have to patiently wait for us to turn her lamp on or off. Now she has a little more control. If there was anything that could be changed, I wish I could adjust the sensitivity of the clap sound. At her weakened state, her claps are soft and are not always detected by the device. We moved the clapper up to her night stand and secured it safely to the side by bringing up a heavy duty extension cord through the table, yet out of the way. This makes it physically close to her. So far so good.

My daughter was watching The Dog Who Saved Halloween (2011) and in that movie, the dad claps and the lamp turns off. She was amazed. I told her those things actually exist. She then told me she wanted one for her birthday! I ended up getting her one to install in her room (not for her birthday - just a surprise) and showed her how it worked. Overall works as intended. But... the sounds needed to trigger it are very specific and yet very random. 1) Doesn't work when you want it to. 2) Does work when you don't expect it to (loud noises, falling objects, etc) 3) Can be very difficult to trigger when noises are happening in the room. What I have learned though is: - Don't clap too fast. 2 (or 3) clear, separate claps work best. - Works best when not hidden in a corner. I have mine tucked between a side table and bed. Sometimes won't register your claps if you're not in clear line of sight (sound?). - A super easy way to trigger it is tapping the box itself. When my daughter is asleep and I need to turn off the light -- instead of clapping, I simply tap the box twice and it works just the same. My daughter does get frustrated sometimes when it doesn't work right away. But overall was a fun investment.

Waste of money. My son bought this because he thought it would be cool, but it already barely works. The 3 slow claps is really annoying to have to do over and over to try to get it to register and maybe a month in and it doesn’t even seem to work. Way too expensive for silky nonsense that doesn’t work. Just buy a smart plug with a remote. Less noisy and works every time.

Bought for a wheelchair bound woman. She was soo happy with it. It was just what she needed because she couldn't reach the floor lamp

Bought this as a birthday present. Installation was a breeze. Plug and go. I really like the concept however it is too sensitive and challenging to clap on and off. That’s disappointing. It can cut on if some one walks in or cut off from the tv talking.

Good product

Well, it does what it’s supposed to do and it does it well clap clap
