WaveUp: Smart Motion Control for Your Smartphone3.2.19

Smart home devices are becoming increasingly popular. In addition to smart switches and lights, central control screens are also a popular choice for many. However, these devices are usually quite expensive, and their functionality is not much different from mobile apps. As a result, more and more people are turning to old smartphones as central control screens. Want to make your old phone work like a central control screen with a "motion-triggered" feature? You can try the WaveUp tool.

The working principle of both central control screens and WaveUp is similar. They use proximity sensors to detect objects and trigger subsequent actions, but there are some differences. A central control screen lights up immediately when an object gets close, while WaveUp is specifically designed for smartphones. Its trigger condition is a "wave," meaning the screen only lights up after an object approaches or moves away, making it convenient for users to check the screen.

Although WaveUp doesn't fully replicate the experience of a central control screen, its trigger method has its advantages. For example, if you want to install a central control screen on the wall of a hallway, you can set the number of hand waves to 2 or 3 in WaveUp. This way, the screen won't be accidentally triggered when someone walks past.

Additionally, WaveUp supports "proximity lock screen" and "pocket mode." If you need to store the device inside a cabinet (such as behind the door of a wardrobe or storage closet), you can enable these two modes. Proximity lock screen will turn off the device when the cabinet door is closed, and pocket mode will automatically light up the screen when the door is opened (i.e., when the device is far away).
