Hi-


I was just chatting about this with one of our genius HH SLPs, and she had a great idea! I haven't tried it yet, but she said it works. 


-Get an IR smart plug for the wall outlet

-Drain the battery on the suction machine so it is only getting power from the outlet

-Plug the suction machine into the smart plug and leave it turned 'on'

-Now it can be turned on and off via the smart plug- whether through the remote, or you can of course use the IR controls on most SGDs


I can't wait to try it!

Subject: Switch Adapted Suction Machine?
 
Hi,
Has anyone set up someone with a switch adapted suction machine.  Please let me know how you set it up or if you found one that is already adapted.
