PSYNQ Modeling

I haven’t updated the blog in quite some time, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t been working. I wanted to share a PSYNQ progress update to let everyone know how things are going.

After developing a successful proof of concept PSYNQ device, the project ground to a halt with minimal progress for a number of years. The parts list for the proof of concept device was too expensive, and the RF components being used were of questionable quality. I was discouraged, but still very much committed to bringing this product to life.

After struggling to come up with a way around our difficulties for a number of years, a friend put me in contact with another engineer he thought could help. I set up a Zoom meeting and explained our product and how it worked. Almost immediately he had proposals for simpler and cheaper ways to accomplish the product objectives.

Since then we have continued to move forward with PSYNQ product development and marketing plans. The plan is to launch our Indiegogo campain in the spring of 2024.

Stay tuned for upcoming details.

The Search

by | Apr 22, 2023 | Uncategorized

Was there already a product that solved this problem?

The search was on for a simple solution to our light switch problem. I had a lamp plugged into an outlet. I had a wall light switch I was used to using. I didn’t want to rewire the house. Surely someone had already solved this problem with simple product right? 

I searched and searched around online and came up with nothing. I went to a variety of stores and asked if they had something. Surely Bed Bath & Beyond already had this product, and I could use a coupon right? Wrong. I had some friends who thought they were good at using Google do some searching and they couldn’t find anything. I was starting to become convinced that this product wasn’t on the market yet.

I even took a dive down the ‘smart home’ rabbit hole and I’m still not sure if the smart home products would let you reconfigure a wall switch to control different outlets. You can definitely use your phone to control the power at an outlet, but this was for a room for our first baby. The last thing I wanted to worry about during 3am diaper changes was whether or not I had my phone with me. 

So then the next natural question was: how hard would it be to develop this product?
