What if your light switch could be smarter? We’ve had clever switches for years, capable of changing the brightness, temperature and colour of light bulbs, or even running a range of lighting pre-sets. But what about a truly smart switch? A switch that’s actually a networked HD touchscreen full of sensors, doubles as an energy meter, and is ready for frequent software updates.
That’s what the Tap is. It comes from a British start-up called Tewke, founded in 2020 by Piers Daniell, who Grand Designs fans will recognise as the man building a modern-day castle in Warwickshire.
