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

Way cool, I remember adds for this year's ago, never thought I would have one. There are two separate channels for two separate plugs. Two claps for one amd three for the other. Very nice when you cannot get to the cord to turn off a floor lamp. One little problem is that whenever there is a series of two sounds there is a chance the unit will turn on or off. For example i had it on and my kid closed a two door cabinet in the kitchen first one then the other and the light turned off... Nothing major though. The hardiness far outweighs that problem.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I wanted to get this because I hate to get out of bed to turn my lamp off each night. It took an extra day or two to get here, and when I got it wasn't in a box. Just a clear plastic bag. But, that's fine, after reading on here, how to set it up no problem. It has two areas to use; one plug-in area uses claps 2 times, and the other 3 times. Once I knew which one I had plugged my lamp into (3 claps), I made sure the lamp was turned on and then practiced clapping, Yeah! Works great!

I've had this for well over a year and it is still working but the bottom port doesn't work anymore, it used to though. The remote is great when I don't feel like clapping and sometimes when it doesn't take my clapping input. Also turns on if I laugh just right or my cat knocks something over. But I love the fact that I don't have to get up to turn my light off.

This product is terrible and I returned it. It is very difficult to use, which surprised me. You need to clap at a certain pace. If the clapper picks up on a background noise while you are clapping, it will "lock you out" and you need to wait until the sensor lights at the bottom turn off so you can try again... Basically, it listens for your clap and if it hears something else (i.e. a songbird, the air conditioner, your dog walking across the floor), it will lock you out for a few seconds and you'll have to try again. I tried this on all four settings (high sensitivity, low sensitivity, using the 2 clap outlet, and using the 3 clap outlet). I tried for over an hour to reliably turn a light on and off and was unsuccessful. I'd clap and one sensor light would come on indicating it registered my clap, clap again, and the second sensor light would come on indicating it heard my second clap. Then the lamp I was turning using would turn on. Yay! But then, I'd clap and a sensor light would come on, but then a bird would chirp, and I'd be locked out. Wait a few seconds. Clap... The sensor light didn't come on. Wait a few seconds. clap. the first sensor light came on. clap again at the appropriate time, but it wouldn't pick up the 2nd clap... so again, I'd wait for the sensor lights to go off to try again... I figured it would get better as I practiced, but it didn't. I don't know how this would work in a room with a tv or radio on as I live in a pretty quiet small apartment and the other noises kept interfering. I sent this back and would not recommend this.

In the "Why didn't I do this before?" file: The Clapper. Those of us over a certain age will remember the commercials. "Clap on! Clap off! Clap on, clap off, the Clapper!" My specific memory is the last few seconds, with an "old" (to me) lady with white curly hair clapping her hands twice in a very succinct fashion and she rolls over in bed as her light shuts off. That's me now. I should have done it before the hip operation but so it goes. I have the original house automation appliance and can shut my nightstand light without having to reeeeeach over there (it's not close, the way things are set up). I can nestle into bed with River beside me, snuggle up to my pregnancy pillow on the other side (it's great for my bad back, hip, knees, etc. I highly recommend it and will link it in the comments) and clap my hands to shut the light. Of course, it also turns the light on and off when I'm clapping my hands at the dogs because they're being buttheads and I need extra emphasis on what I'm saying to them. Or when I close the nightstand drawer a little too hard. Or the bed shifts against the wall. Or I drop something on the hardwood floor, which is happening way more often than is necessary. If I applaud something, my bedroom becomes a disco. But I don't have to contort myself and hurt my new hip to shut my light anymore. Who needs fancy AI-enabled house automation when you can just clap your hands? Alexa, Google, etc. can buzz off. Or, clap off if you like. 5 claps for the Clapper. 👏👏👏👏👏

Very touchy at times, very stubborn other times. Couldn't get it to work on my mother -in-laws touch lamp. I took it home. Sometimes it turns the lamp on if there's a loud noise on TV. Then I have to keep clapping 👏 over and over to turn it off. 🤷

I love it wanted one ever since I was kid and seen it on tv. I have a hard time falling asleep so when I have to get up turn light off it messes me up. Now I just clap and boom im out.

It was a gift for a child who is afraid of the dark. We watched Star Wars so she would know who the characters are IT’S A HUGE HIT!!!

Muy bueno y práctico, especialmente en lugares remotos.

Works just like I remember.

Comique et pratique pour rester au chaud et éteindre une lumière

I finally got my hands on the miniature Han Solo Carbonite that functions as a night light and an automation that controls turning on and off night lights with 3 clapping sounds! 2 clapping sounds to turn on and off devices.

always wanted to own one of these ever since I watched Bruce Almighty as a child. It works remarkably well - one bit of advice though, if you do intend to use this in the UK, make sure you get a device that'll drop from 220v+ to 120v- otherwise the device you plug into it, will try and draw more power than this device can supply voltage wise, and it may cause an electrical fire!
