The Netflix Switch

At the 2015 World Maker Faire, Netflix unveiled the "Netflix Switch" DIY project made out of a Particle Core microcontroller, a smart TV with a Netflix app and a custom-built housing. After being assembled, the switch dims lights, silences a connected smart phone and turns on the Netflix app on a connected television. In the coming days, several news sites reported on the switch as a "Netflix and chill button," including Engadget,[13] The Verge[14] and Gizmodo.[15]
