As AmieeVan Winkle opened the door to Room 40, she took a step back and vowed she would notenter the vacantroom inside the Tarpon Inn in Port Aransas.

"You'll never see me step foot inside that room," Van Winkle said. Her shoulders tensed up at the thought of the idea.

From the outside looking in, the vacant room looked like any other. It was quaint and only big enough for a queen-sized bed, two nightstands,a small dresser and an intimate bathroom.

According to Tarpon Inn employee Amiee Van Winkle, room 40 is the most haunted in the hotel, as seen Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020. Stories of ghosts and supernatural activity are reported to Van Winkle and the hotel staff.(Photo: Annie Rice/Caller-Times)

Ithad beautifulCoastal dcor thatfelt like an invitationfor any guestto enter.But for Van Winkle, the room's eerie presence was anything but inviting.

"When I walk in here, I get a heaviness in my chest," she said. "I don't like the feeling. I get this feeling of dread it's just uncomfortable for me. I know there's something here."

Van Winkle,who has worked for the inn and restaurant since 2008, said she believes the hotel is a "hotbed" for the paranormal due tothe property's rich history and the land it sits on.

Tarpon Inn owner Lee Roy Hoskins points to historical images of the hotel, Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020, in Port Aransas. Hoskins has owned the hotel since 2008. (Photo: Annie Rice/Caller-Times)

Lee-Roy Hoskins, who has owned the Tarpon Inn since 2008, said the hotel has been around in Port Aransas since before it was a town.

In 1862, the inn was first establishedasmilitary barracks for Union soldiers who were stationed on the island during the Civil War. At the time, the Union had control over the port.

"We don't really have anything written as to where the Tarpon Inn came from, but what makes the most senseis that the earliest photo we have of the hotellooks like any other wooden barracks that were built around that time," Hoskins said.

He said the beach town was once called Ropesville. It wasn't much of a town and only includedthe barracks of the military campground.

But when the Cotter family officially opened theTarpon Innin 1886, a town was eventually built around it.

After 1889, the town was renamed Tarpon until it was permanently named Port Aransas in 1911.

Hoskins said after the beach town's establishment, it grew to become the center, and possibly the birthplace,of American sportsman fishing.

Tarpon fish scales are seen on the walls of Port Aransas' Tarpon Inn, as seen Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020. There are four "haunted" rooms in the hotel where guests can stay.(Photo: Annie Rice/Caller-Times)

Many fisherman from across the country, including President Franklin D. Roosevelt, made their way to the beach town to catch fish, especially tarpon.

Those who caught a grand catchwould earn their name onthe inn's tarpon fish scale trophy wall, which is still on display today in the reception area.

But while the inn has entertained travelers for over 134 years in Port Aransas, it has also faced many tribulations.

During the turn of the 20thcentury, the inn caught on fire a couple times. The once two-story building that sat behind the innlost its second story to a blaze. Today, the building still stands, but as a one-story building. It is used now to host special events.

In 1919, the Tarpon Inn lost two buildings tothe Category 4 hurricane, whichdevastated the entire Corpus Christi area.

During that time, the Cotter family went bankrupt and sold the inn to the Ellis family, Hoskins said. The hotelwas then rebuiltand reopened in 1922.

Sometime later, the hotel's restaurant also caught fire and a few floors in the inn burned down. A few sections were rebuilt, which included new rooms, offices and the owner's quarters. Today, the hotel reflects these new renovations.

But fires and natural disasters aren't the only tribulations the hotel has faced; othersinclude suicide and murder.

Hoskins said one story that has been passed down by employees and past owners is a possible murder that may haveoccurred at the inn's event's center around the early 1900s.

The story goes that three couples used to run the hotel.One was a chef, two were waiters and the women were housekeepers. Hoskins said one of the waitstaff began an affair with the chef's wife and the chef retaliated by throwing a meat hatchet at his head, which supposedly killed the man instantly.

"I'm not really a believer of the paranormal, but maybe it's because I haven't heard or seen a thing, but many guests and paranormal investigators who've stayed here have said they've seen a thing or two at the Tarpon," Hoskins said.

According to Tarpon Inn employee Amiee Van Winkle, room 40 is the most haunted in the hotel, as seen on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020. Stories of ghosts and supernatural activity are reported to Van Winkle and the hotel staff.(Photo: Annie Rice/Caller-Times)

Over the years, Van Winkle said guests havereportedhearing children running across the patio late at night, doors closing on their own, unexplained lights flickering, shadow figures appearing in the inn's courtyard on security camera, and unexplainedelectronic voice phenomena.

She said some guests have neverstayed long enough to make it through onenight in some of the inn's rooms -- most notably, rooms 40, 37, 36 and the inn's honeymoon suite.

Some of the unexplained phenomena guests havewitnessed in Room 40 include lights flickering on and off, an apparition of a woman appearing at the edge of the bed in the middle of the night and strange voices.

Van Winkle said she once captured an electronic voice phenomenon (EVP) in theroom around 1 a.m. of a voice saying "We are watching you."

"I'm a believer," Van Winkle said. "I believe there is something here. I think it wants to be here and I think it's friendly. I don't think it's going to hurt us. I think the Tarpon (Inn) is just a happy place for these spirits because it has been a beacon for many for more than a century."

Room 37 is one of the rooms in the hotel that is allegedly haunted, as seen Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020. Stories of ghosts and supernatural activity are reported to the hotel staff.(Photo: Annie Rice/Caller-Times)

After Hurricane Harvey hit the town in2017, Van Winkle said employees were unable to open the door to Room 37. They tried everything to open the door. When they were about to give up on the room,it finally opened on its own one day.

When employees were able to see the room, they noticed it was soaking wet.

"Everything in here was wet. The walls, the furniture and the floor," Van Winkle said. "There were no broken windows and the rooms around it did not have any waterdamage, but this room did. It was very strange."

The hotel isn't the only thing that is haunted on the property. The inn's restaurant, Roosevelt's, has experienced paranormal activity before and after hours.

Some employees have reported anuneasy feeling of being watched when alone at the restaurant, their names being called out of nowhere,unexplained sounds of a person walking and strange apparitions of children appearing on camera in the eatery's outdoor dining area.

The Roosevelt restaurant is on the Tarpon Inn's property, as seen Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020, in Port Aransas. The restaurant is named after President Franklin D. Roosevelt who stayed in the hotel in 1937.(Photo: Annie Rice/Caller-Times)

"We definitely have paranormal activity in the restaurant," Van Winkle said. "I think it definitely has to do with the inn's history."

Van Winkle said guests who are itching to stay in some of the hotel's most haunted rooms will have a chance to do so on Halloween night.

The Tarpon Inn is encouraging guests to stay in six of its mosthaunted rooms, which includes the price of the room and$75. The $75 will covera Halloween swagpackage.

The inn's restaurant, Roosevelt's, will also host a special Halloween-themed dinner on Oct. 30-31 for guests that will include a four-course meal and ghost stories about the haunted location.Tickets start at $75 per person.

"I believe people are in for a real Halloween treat when they stay at the Tarpon this weekend," Van Winkle said. "Whether they see a ghost or not, it's going to be a great time to celebrate the inn's history and the spirit of the season."

Jeld-Wen (NYSE:JELD) last posted its earnings results on Tuesday, August 4th. The company reported $0.47 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the Thomson Reuters' consensus estimate of $0.18 by $0.29. Jeld-Wen had a net margin of 1.15% and a return on equity of 14.02%.

The firm's revenue for the quarter was down 11.3% on a year-over-year basis. On average, analysts expect Jeld-Wen to post $1 EPS for the current fiscal year and $2 EPS for the next fiscal year.

Most of the world's richest investors totally ignore company fundamentals like P/E ratios. Those metrics have NOTHING to do with what makes stocks rise or fall. One indicator is far more accurate -- but less than 1 in 1,000 investors have ever heard of it. This is how wealth is really made in the stock market today.

10 Rock-Solid Dividend Paying Stocks to Own

Historically low interest rates have made it difficult over the last decade for income-oriented investors that want to generate safe cash flow for their retirements.

Dividend-paying stocks have become more appealing to income investors because of their competitive yields, the favorite tax treatment that dividends receive and their ability to grow their payouts over time. While fixed interest rates from bond investments will lose purchasing power to inflation over time, the purchasing power of income from dividend growth stocks is more protected because companies tend raise their dividend payments every year.

In this slideshow, we look at ten of the best high-dividend stocks that offer strong yields (above 3.5%), have consistent cashflow and a strong track record of dividend growth. The companies in this slideshow have all raised their dividend every year for the last ten years.

These companies also have low payout ratios (below 75%), meaning that they will have the ability to continue to pay their dividend if their earnings have a temporary dip.

Stock prices will always fluctuate, but the dividends paid by these rock-solid dividend payers should remain secure with moderate earnings growth.

Jeld-Wen (JELD) Scheduled to Post Earnings on Tuesday - MarketBeat

Cleveland Heights, Ohio | $750,000A 1905 Georgian colonial-style brick house, with eight bedrooms, five full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, on a 0.86-acre lot

This home, built for an archbishop, is in Ambler Heights, a neighborhood with 66 architecturally distinguished custom houses. It is a mile and a half southeast of University Circle, Clevelands cultural hub, with Severance Hall (home of the Cleveland Orchestra), the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Cleveland Cultural and Botanical gardens and the campus of Case Western Reserve University and its medical center. It is about the same distance south of Little Italys art galleries and restaurants.

Size: 7,643 square feet

Price per square foot: $98

Indoors: A circular driveway leads to the front door, or you can approach the house through a large, columned side entrance designed for carriages.

The front door opens to a vestibule, followed by a grand hallway with a barrel-vault ceiling, polished floors and mahogany woodwork. Thick mahogany pocket doors with vintage hardware lead into a living room measuring 34 by 20 feet. It has one of the homes seven fireplaces and a leaded-glass window bay deep enough to hold a baby grand piano.

Another set of doors connects to a 21-foot-square dining room with paneled walls, a five-window bay and an extra-wide marble fireplace that heats the room efficiently. Burled mahogany doors on one side lead into a library whose walls are covered in bright green moir paper and whose fireplace surround is green ceramic block. This room opens to a sunroom with a terra-cotta tile floor and direct access to the backyard.

On the other side of the dining room is a 24-by-18-foot white kitchen that has a large, curved center island with a sink and grill top and a separate seating area. The periphery is lined in cabinets and white-paneled appliances. A laundry room is next to it.

The home has two staircases, front and back. Off the first landing of the main one a stately mahogany affair is a salon hung with a crystal chandelier. It walks up several stairs to a master suite with a 28-by-21-foot bedroom that has a fireplace with an elaborate wood mantel and a windowed niche; the suite also includes an office, a large walk-in closet and a private bathroom. Three additional bedrooms (two with fireplaces) and two full bathrooms are on this floor.

The third floor contains a guest suite with three bedrooms, an office, a living room, a kitchenette and two full bathrooms. A full unfinished basement has storage rooms and an enormous vintage safe that still works.

Outdoor space: The lot, which is not much shy of an acre, is extraordinarily big for the neighborhood. The fenced backyard includes a deck and a gazebo. Parking is in a detached three-bay garage.

Taxes: $23,120

Tom Gist, a custom home builder who was said to have been advised by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe not to pursue architectural training, but became a celebrated architectural designer in Tucson anyway designed this one-story house, with its deep, flat overhangs, in the Catalina foothills. It is about seven and a half miles northwest of downtown, with unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains and city lights. St. Philips Plaza, with shopping, restaurants, live outdoor music and a weekend farmers market, is less than a mile away, as is Saint Philips in the Hills, the historic Episcopal church that gave the area its name. Access to the Loop, a 131-mile trail system that encircles the city, is less than half a mile away.

Size: 1,723 square feet

Price per square foot: $435

Indoors: The homes burnt-adobe brick construction is exposed inside as well as out. In the living room, the bricks are set below glass that wraps around the space on three sides. The flooring throughout the building is concrete; some of it still bears the marks of tile laid down by a previous owner and removed by the sellers to restore the original surface.

The sellers also brought the kitchen back to its first conception, duplicating the original custom cabinets with their angled, integral pulls. (The new cabinets are rift-sawn white oak with matte-finished quartz countertops; panels disguise the refrigerator and dishwasher.) The kitchen, which includes a gas cooktop and a convection oven, has a dining area with a brick corner fireplace. A door next to the fireplace opens to a small laundry room with a stacking washer and dryer and an oak utility cabinet

The four bedrooms are off a hallway. The narrow triangular window cut out of an exposed brick wall in the master and in one of the guest rooms is a signature design element of Mr. Gist. The master bathroom was recently refinished with the same cabinetry found in the kitchen and has a separate room with a walk-in shower and toilet. The three guest rooms share a bathroom across the hall that is surfaced in square, taupe tile and has a combined tub and shower.

Outdoor space: The sellers rebuilt a deep, walled brick patio that extends along the back of the house and is punctured by a palo verde tree; both the dining room and the master bedroom have direct access to the space. Gravel and native plants surround the building on the other sides. Parking for two cars is in an attached carport.

Taxes: $2,963 (based on a tax assessment of $24,160)

A landscape painter bought this antique gristmill in 1999 for $50,000 and spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and a substantial amount of personal sweat reinforcing it, re-roofing it and otherwise turning it into a year-round live-work space for herself and her husband.

The property is in northern Delaware County, about 150 miles northwest of Manhattan and 65 miles southwest of Albany, N.Y. Oneonta, which has a State University of New York campus, is about half an hour west. The community is agricultural and speckled with artists and weekenders, and has a popular cheesemaker.

Size: 3,864 square feet

Price per square foot: $194

Indoors: The stone base of the board-and-batten-sided building still holds mill apparatus. The main floor consists of a long stretch of open space laid with original chestnut boards that the owner cleaned and stained with tea to even out the color. Timber posts and old barn beams divide the level into a living area, a relaxation area that currently holds a bed, and a kitchen and dining area with a walk-in pantry.

In the kitchen, windows wrap around a corner and an island is outfitted with storage niches, shelves and pothooks. There is also a six-burner Viking range and a double porcelain sink set below a leaded-glass window. Landscapes are painted on the four lower door fronts of the built-in china cabinet. Actual mountains and greenery can be seen from the large, multipaned windows.

Upstairs, the ceiling is beamed and vaulted, and the space includes a master bedroom and bathroom, a walk-in closet, a painting studio and a large sitting room. The bathroom has a claw-foot tub and shower head, and a vintage porcelain sink and medicine cabinet.

Outdoor space: A deck built by the owners extends below the front entrance and overlooks the brook. Woven twigs are used as fencing and as edging for garden beds. Vines climb up the houses stone walls, and daffodils erupt in the spring.

Taxes: $4,723 (2019, based on a tax assessment of $42,600)

Breweries everywhere have always created an outlet for people a time to relax and socialize with others. Unfortunately, in the times of the coronavirus pandemic and with bar closures, it has affected some of Bakersfields local breweries, causing them to remarket themselves and save their businesses.

Owners and brewers from Temblor Brewing Co., Great Change Brewing and 2nd Phase Brewing continued to work by restrategizing their everyday business plan and staying hopeful. Temblor Brewing Companys Don Bynum, 2nd Phase Brewings Frank Miranda and Great Change Brewings Tim and Steve Belmont thought about what they were going to do next to keep their businesses afloat with tap rooms and dining rooms shut down.

For these local breweries, most of their keg sales decreased, but it gave them the opportunity to remarket themselves into selling canned beers.

Master brewer at Temblor Brewing Co. Justin Hill, who works closely with Bynum, said their pint sales have cut in half, but he has seen a 200 percent increase in can sales.

In the transition, we did have kegs go bad so weve had to pour them out, said Bynum. Weve sold twice as many canned beers this year as we did last year. Our tanks have been full and ongoing, which has never happened.

Both Great Change Brewing and 2nd Phase Brewing had to figure out ways to re-market their beers as canned products, where Temblor already had a system in place.

Miranda, who is the only brewer at 2nd Phase Brewing and just opened his business in January, had to quickly think of ways to maintain his business.

I had thoughts of selling to-go and calling up places for easy canning material, labels and things we werent ready for but we needed to be ready for this, said Miranda.

Miranda had support from fellow brewers at Crusader Brewing by letting him use their crowler machine until he figured out his own canning process.

We had to make adjustments with what beers we were going to do. We were still pushing new beers not knowing if people were going to enjoy them or not, Miranda said.

Tim Belmont, co-owner of Great Change Brewing, alongside his brother Steve Belmont and co-owner Kyle Smith, had to refocus their image and think of a solution to increase their sales.

We arent selling any draft beer like we were before so we had to remarket ourselves to canning. We partnered with Lengthwise and they helped us with canning, said Tim Belmont. Now were readjusting and working with our distributors.

Like most businesses, breweries are offering patio dining until they can open their indoor seating to the public.

Because Great Change Brewing and 2nd Phase Brewing do not serve food in-house, theyve managed to partner with other local food vendors to keep their doors open. The California rule requires customers to order meals along with their beers.

Weve partnered with them before but its critical now to sell beer. Were utilizing that patio by having that food component, said Belmont.

Though the coronavirus pandemic has left many businesses struggling to survive, it also gave those businesses a chance to be creative and collaborate.

Its all driven by the canning, whats been selling, whats in the market and following those trends. Were brewing our beer towards supply and demand, said Belmont.

Poncherella Pale Ale, Yo Mr. White and Eve Blonde Ale are a few of Great Change Brewings demanding beers on their market.

Bynum said he and his team are working on creating more beers and continue to sell outside the county.

We kind of felt like losing events and losing the pub and all these things were depressing because a lot of work went away. Weve been able to stay tight and sit down each day, have a beer together and be creative together. We have a common goal and we have fun with it, said Bynum.

Bynum and his team are working on new beers like Golden Empire Strikes Back, Soft and Fluffy and Flannel Shirt.

Miranda, whose business has only been open since the beginning of this year, had to find a turn around to bring customers in, but found a way by partnering with other local businesses downtown like Locale Farm to Table Eatery and Bottleshock. The brewery has Bakersfield inspired themed beers like East Chester IPA, Bakersfield Blues, Farm to Tap Ale and Rich Uncle.

Though these breweries have faced challenges, they are continuously working on ways to keep their doors open all while still connecting with the community.

The community has been incredibly supportive and we wouldnt be open if it werent for that. These programs the government put out it saved us. I hope things continue to improve or theres more help down the road, said Bynum.

FM broadcast is a device that transmitsbroadcasts by wireless transmission. It has the characteristics of no vertical poles for wiring, wide coverage, unlimited capacity expansion, and convenient installation and maintenance. It solves the problems of traditional cable broadcasting wiring difficulties, complicated installation, and poor scalability. For the current large-scale and wide-area schools, FM broadcasting has the superiority that traditional cable broadcasting cannot match.

Application principle

The audio signal collected by the system is modulated to a high-frequency signal of a certain frequency and radiated into the air. The receiving end receives the high-frequency electric wave containing the audio signal. Through frequency selection and amplification, the audio signal is detected by the detection circuit, and then passed Positive, the power is amplified and restored to the original audio signal. This process is thewireless broadcasting system.

Application field

Inorder to allow students to practice English listening, some campuses have installed small FM transmitters, and each student is equipped with wireless monitoring equipment. High-power FM radio speakers can also be installed on campus. Some factories and mines have adoptedmulti-pointautomatic reception transmissionin order to transmit instructions in time. Some townships to natural villages have installed FM radio transmitters and installed FM radio automatic receivers and amplifiers in the villages for the smooth flow of government orders and good publicity work. There are many places in life where wireless broadcast communication is used.

So, when they enter the front gate of Pyramid Hill, they leave Ohio, and by the time they get to the end of the journey, they are at the North Pole, FitzGibbons said.

From the very beginning, they will be envisioning this story through to the North Pole. As you go through each section of the park, a new part of the journey will unfold."

Visitors will see more than five different art installations, created by local and regional artists, along with an expansive, curated display of lights. Guests will also experience a Journey Borealis soundtrack by Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra and Cincinnati Boychoir as they drive through the display. Arranged by Daniel Nail, the soundtrack will feature arrangements of holiday music.

Its a journey. Youre going to the North Pole, and its a light-based art installation, and we thought Journey Borealis was perfect to describe what the art drive is and what to expect, northern lights, FitzGibbons said.

As far as other highlights on the journey, guests will go through a Crystal Palace during one segment of the drive.

Current volunteer opportunities at Pyramid Hill will also allow community members to be a part of Journey Borealis. Community members are invited to volunteer at Pyramid Hill every Monday through Nov. 16, and they will assist with installation projects throughout the park. Volunteer projects will include creating innovative lighting effects, installing lights in trees and bushes, building structures, wiring lights, and more.

Opening Pyramid Hill and Journey Borealis up to the community through our volunteer program is an important step in aligning our programming with our mission of Bringing People to Art in Nature. It also provides a shared creative experience, FitzGibbons said.

Additionally, Pyramid Hill is accepting donations of materials. New materials are preferred, but donations can also come from personal Christmas collections of working items. Donations can include single-color strands of lights of any length, colored lights of any length, and construction materials such as plywood sheets and lumber. For additional information about volunteering or donating materials, contact Sarah Rodriguez, project coordinator, at srodriguez@pyramidhill.org.

(Pocket-lint) - Though smart lights can be controlled through voice, and regular lights work just fine with switches, sometimes you want the best of both worlds. That's where smart light switches and dimmers come in, with their capabilities extending far past a normal wired-in switch - all while remaining simple enough for the whole family to use.

Like everything else in the smart home, however, there are a few things to understand before you buy.

Most top smart switches will offer compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, but installation methods vary. Some will just require an adhesive tab, but others will need some wiring - so, make sure the screwdriver is handy. For an easy reference, wall-installed options tend to act as a tool to give you smart control over regular lights, while remote-style switches you stick to the wall often aim to give you more control over already-installed smart lights.

If you're ready to take that lighting setup to the next level, we've detailed some of the top options to help you decide.

squirrel_widget_3492002

There are plenty of great smart home devices under TP Link's Kasa line, but one of the best is the company's Smart Light Switch.

As far as installation goes, it's one of the most straightforward methods that doesn't just, you know, involve sticking an adhesive to the wall. The Kasa app will guide you through each step, but all you really need to do is find the neutral wire behind your regular switch and configure it from there.

There's no hub required, as well, with the switch essentially giving you the ability to turn your regular lights smart. That means you can control them from the app or by using your voice and even set schedules for them.

squirrel_widget_3492021

Belkin's Wemo smart alternative works similarly to other replacements for regular switches, working with Alexa and Google Assistant to give you ample control.

You'll require a single-pole connection and a neutral wire, with the switch not compatible with three-way systems, but once you're set up you'll be able to control the lights and schedule using your voice or the app.

It is a little on the pricey side when compared to similar options, but it's a super reliable and easy system to set up.

squirrel_widget_3492022

Gosund offers up another take on the classic style on smart switches, upgrading your regular fittings into more functioning members of the house.

You get all the typical features once you have set things up, which means scheduling, voice control (through Alexa or Google Assistant), app control and more are at your disposal.

Like other fittings of this type, just be aware that it won't work with three-pole connections, just single-pole. They'll also require a neutral wire to get set up.

squirrel_widget_3492059

If you want to install plenty of smart switches around your home, it can start to get costly.

With Treatlife's four-pack, though, you get to graduate from regular switches and still have enough money to actually pay your mortgage.

It's the same single-pole, neutral wire setup as other switches, with the device itself opening up a world of scheduling, automation through Alexa or Google Assistant, manual app control and more.

squirrel_widget_3625639

Philips serves up a different kind of smart switch with its Wireless Dimmer Switch, which essentially exists to give users another way of controlling their Hue-compatible lights.

Instead of requiring installation to replace your existing switch, the remote is designed to be placed beside it with an adhesive strip. You will require a Hue Hub, but, if you have one, this is a painless way to back up the app and voice control with something manual.

On the switch itself, you're able to dim and brighten the lights you've set up to work with the remote, as well as turn them off and on.

squirrel_widget_3625640

Unlike many other options, which only work with single-pole connections, Meross allows you to replace your regular fitting with this two-way smart switch.

The device is compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant, letting you take advantage of voice control for your lights, as well as app controls.

Just be aware that your switch wiring will require at least one neutral blue wire for installation, something that a lot of old houses don't feature.

squirrel_widget_3625677

Like Philips' Dimmer Switch, the Tap is a stick-to-the-wall type of smart switch that affords greater manual control of your Hue lights.

The four buttons allow you to jump between different, customizable scenes, with the unit itself cleverly powered by kinetic touch. That means there's no need for batteries - you can simply stick the mount to the wall or use it as a remote and it'll remain useable.

It's less of an essential switch than the Hue Dimmer, but it's a really handy way to change the mood with, well, just a simple tap.

squirrel_widget_3625696

Sonoff's touch-enabled smart switch is a beauty, providing you with one of the neatest and most affordable ways to add more functionality over your regular light switch.

The device is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, with this backed up by app control and the ability to create scheduling routines and light scenes.

Just note that the installation will require a neutral wire, and the switch itself will only work with one-way connections (though Sonoff does offer two-way and three-way options, too).
