Wall switch for alexa plug? - Amazon Echo

Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I am unsure.
It's great to have smart plugs to turn on/off lamps. Is there any kind of wall switch that could activate them like a regular wall switch?

USB fan on HERO

Hi
I am wondering if there is a way to connect something like a fan, or led or electric motor or anything else to micro usb port on hero?
I have tried that and nothing happend, like there is no power when i connect to RED and BLACK (+,-) wire
Ummm... Wouldn't you need to connect it to something that actually does send "power" out?
On another note, did you make the cable yourself?
First of all, thank you for replay
I made cable my self, it converts micro usb attached to the phone to female usb. And then i put male usb into it and connect electric motor to black and red wire and it doesnt run..
Do you know what am i doing wrong?
You don't get power from micro usb...

Docking tricks for the DHD

So, most other HTC phones use a little magnet trick for the car dock and home dock, but ill be buggered if I can find where to place the magnet for the DHD. Thats not to say it couldnt be integrated into the cable somehow...
Does anyone know how to initiate Car dock and Home dock (without tasker heh), with something like a magnet??
Regards

What makes a car dock.. dock?

Hi all.
Just a simple question I guess:
How does the SGSII know when it is docked in a compatible car dock? (Auto start Car Home, etc..?)
Does the car dock have a magnet what does the trick?
I have made my own car dock for my SGSII. And it would be really nice if it automatically started Car Home when docked.
Best regards
a certain resistance level on the connectin.. different resistence lets it sense car dock vs. home dock. etc. etc.

Could you please explain?
Resistance level on the connection?
People are talking about magnets here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/j35p0/is_there_a_car_dock_for_the_sgsii/
lol if it was a magnet the magntometre would not work.
The car dock has a resistor in the power connector it only docks when plugged in even if the power is not connected to the dock.
Hope this helps
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
IIRC the resistor is pinned to pin 1 of the USB and to ground. If you look over on the Galaxy I9000 forum there is a post somewhere there on it.
Pin 4 connect to Pin 5 via 620k Ohm Resistor triggers Car dock mode

Suitable Stand For Viewing and Charging in Landscape

It seems the connector for charging is at the bottom in landscape and in order to charge whilst on a stand you need clearance for the charging plug, unless you have the connector on the top which is not ideal.
Does anyone know of a suitable stand that will hold the Nexus 10 whilst on charge with clearance for the charging plug?
The Belkin Flipblade Adjust should do the trick.
I use it with my Iconia A700 which also has the charging plug at the bottom.

External Power Button

Hey guys,
My brother installed a Nexus 7 into his dash and soldered wires onto the power ribbon cable similar to what Bossman137 did. He attached a toggle switch to this but I'd like to replace it with an illuminated momentary switch similar to this. I'm aware the switch will need power to light the LED but I'm unsure how I'd wire this.
