Swidget

I recently had two Swidget Auxiliary controls installed for an ERV. One for On/Standby using a Wi-Fi + USB insert, and one for the ERV boost mode using a Wi-Fi + Air Quality insert. They work great and this app provides all the features needed to configure and control the switches. They were very easy to set up. The automations are well designed and easy to use, and the air quality details are interesting. I do wish the AQI details that shows max, min, and avg described the timeframe used in calculating those numbers. I’m not sure where that’s documented, if it is. It should also show the current reading. To see that, I have to go back to the switch details screen.

The app was easy to set up. Simple device detection, WiFi authentication and firmware update (held my breath). Agree app that tracks instantaneous power consumption should have a use-over-time metric charting capability. They need to add Siri and Alexa support. No reason I shouldn’t be able to create a verbal automation command that executes a shortcut. Still a good initial offering. It works and the device work within the system. Love it.

It would be helpful if you could allow user to input kWh charge from the power company to get representative actual costs. Also while at this it would be good to be able to track the daily kWh over last 12 months or more for a particular outlet.
