This is a Levoit Vital 100 and it has a timer to switch itself off after x hours but i'd like to turn it on automatically.

I'm somewhat fit with soldering and taking stuff apart but i don't wanna go that route before i have atleast a rough understanding of what's up with those buttons.

Thx! 🙂

Oh man switchbot is scary, a lot of awful looking IOT stuff though with one wall switch flipping peripheral. I think I'd just rip into the air filter with a soldering iron. Also better check whether the buttons are capacitive.

    There are some where there’s no hub, just a standalone (I can’t be arsed to check if you still need the job for switchbot itself). Worth looking at the knockoffs since I know some exist that don’t need anything else. And I wish the security were better, but for a simple case like this I think they’re fine.
