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?

    I don’t see why you couldn’t stick something capacitive to the dingus.

      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.
