SWITCHBOX FREE APP CONTROLS AIRCRAFT PRE-HEAT WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY


SwitchBox introduces its SwitchBox app for remotely controlling electrical devices with a new industry-fi rst technology. Specifi cally designed for pilots, SwitchBox off ers a simple, aff ordable and safe way to remotely turn on/off an aircraft’s pre-heat system and other electrical devices. The newly revised app off ers expanded capabilities and greater convenience. It’s available free for use on iOS and Android devices, as well as Web browsers. Pilots frequently drive to the airport hours before a fl ight


to turn on engine pre-heaters, computers, lighting, coff ee makers, space heaters, etc. With SwitchBox, these electrical devices can be easily controlled from a smart phone, simplifying the fl ying routine. Similar to a cold engine start, sensitive avionics need to be protected while operating in extreme temperatures. With the addition of a remotely switched on cabin heater, avionics and other frozen surfaces, such as cockpit seating, can be warmed and ready on arrival. The SwitchBox app adds new technology and a host of


features. These include an industry-fi rst, Internet enabled phone and text message commands allowing the SwitchBox to be controlled from iPads, tablets and any computer connected to the Internet. Users can now visually manage their outlet status, reception strength, account balance/alerts, and custom security lists. More advanced users will appreciate the app’s improved fl ow for adding new SwitchBox devices,


synchronization of properties between devices, refresh of data from cloud storage, and timer capabilities. SwitchBox was originally developed to provide a safe and


effi cient means for aircraft owners to preheat their aircraft engines during wintertime operations. Its functionality has been greatly enhanced with the addition of the free SwitchBox app, available for immediate download on the Apple and Google stores. The SwitchBox device, a smart power outlet, sells for $299. It is budget smart, and provides an alternative to leaving heat plugged in all winter, or for extended periods of time. SwitchBox saves on electricity consumption and can prevent corrosion caused by temperature variations and moisture accumulation in an idle engine. The free app is a great improvement for sharing a Switchbox across multiple airplane partners and devices. Customer Jaden Rosenau states, “Love it. Switchbox

works way better than any other one, especially for me and my aircraft partners.” Another user of SwitchBox, Phil Switzer comments, “Excellent App. This app is the answer we have all been looking for as SwitchBox owners.
