Bluetooth Switch

drofluf

I’ve just bought a simple battery operated LED sign that I’d like to control remotely. 

My Google is letting me down, does anyone know of a simple Bluetooth switch that I can wire in series with the existing physical switch so that I can control it from my phone?

Not looking to spend too much as the sign was only £15 and it’s just for fun really.

Does it have to be bluetooth? Google Home, Amazon Home, HomeKit all have inexpensive devices which can regulate power from the wall and control from your phone.

No, not necessarily. I’m familiar with the devices you mention but this is for a self contained battery device.

Sorry I must have missed battery powered. Is there such a thing as a false battery like there is for pedals requiring a 9v battery?

just wire in a mains adapter, then plug that into a remotely switchable mains socket like the amazon smart plug

any option will cost more than £15 though

Thanks for the responses. Looks like it’s impractical for my budget. 

Was hoping there was a cheap option on AliExpress that I’d missed.

if you found a remote switch on temu it could be cheap enough
but of course half the stuff on there is rubbish, but at least they do refunds
