Comment on I'd like to control my air-purifier with one of those power-socket-timer-switch thingies – Is there a way to "auto-press" those non-mechanical buttons?

  iirc there’s a common mod with aluminum foil tape which makes them work great with capacitive touch buttons

  How would you switch it? What’s an example of something capacitive? This hadn’t occurred to me. I do know there are supposedly capacitive styli for phones, but they don’t work very well.

    LMBO I posted the answer to your question in this same thread at the exact same time you asked it.
