Netflix may call this little gadget the “Netflix Switch,” but for all intents and purposes, it’s the world’s first Netflix and Chill button. Unveiled at this year’s World Maker Faire, the contraption from Netflix allows users with a little electronic and API know-how to fire up Netflix, order some food, and, when it’s “chill” time, silence your phone and dim your lights. And, assuming you can solder, build, and program the switch yourself, you can design yours to do other clever things, as well. Check out the instructions and build your own.
