"The 'Dogosophy Button' allows your pooch to control household appliances with a press of a paw. Developed by scientists at The Open University's Animal-Computer Interaction Laboratory, this button is designed to let dogs help their owners with more household tasks. And, according to its inventors, that includes letting your dog pop the kettle on to make you a cuppa. However, recreating your favourite scenes from Wallace and Gromit won't be cheap, with each Dogosophy Button currently costing £96."
"Users plug their chosen appliance into a receiver, which picks up the wireless button's signal from up to 40 metres away. When it detects that the button is pressed, the receiver starts to power the fan, kettle, hoover, or whatever device is plugged in. Since the receiver powers any device that would normally plug into the mains, you don't even need expensive smart devices to let your dog take control of the house."
The Dogosophy Button enables dogs to operate household appliances via a large, bright blue wireless paw-activated button paired with a mains receiver. Users plug an appliance into the receiver, which detects the button's signal from up to 40 metres and powers the connected device when pressed, removing the need for smart appliances. The device targets service-dog assistance and increasing canine control over domestic environments. Design features prioritize canine usability through visibility and size suitable for paws. The system can power fans, kettles, hoovers and similar mains devices, and each unit currently costs £96.
