iPhones are limited in many ways, but the Tethercell company managed to develop a very interesting accessory that gives us the possibility to control from the iPhone any kind of product that works with AA batteries, the normal ones for a gamepad, of example.
Tethercell's intelligent adapter allows the introduction of a AAA battery, more similar to the AA one, inside it, which is then inserted instead of a normal AA battery in the battery-operated product, and this is how the product is controlled .
The Tethercell adapter connects via Bluetooth to an iPhone, and using a dedicated application, anyone can turn on or off any product with batteries by activating or deactivating the flow of energy sent by the adapter to the connector that normally receives energy from the battery.
The concept behind Tethercell's smart adapter is extremely interesting and practically allows the control of any product with AA batteries, no matter what kind of product we are talking about, compatibility being given by the type of battery used by that product and nothing else.
- Turn AA-battery powered devices on and off remotely
- Works with Apple iOS devices beyond iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
- One Tethercell needed per AA-battery powered device
- Set device schedule, timers, and power setting
- Be alerted when batteries are running low
Tethercell's smart adapter is currently sold through Amazon at prices starting at $20.
