Plug Off Airplane vs Smart Gadget
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Plug Off Airplane
This is a very simple app that turns off Airplane Mode when the USB cable is plugged in. The idea is to make sure Airplane Mode is turned off at least once a day, in a safe location in terms of metadata: the home. Your telecom already knows your device belongs to its billing address. This makes it easier to use Airplane Mode to disable the cellular radio during the day, when it is not needed.
Smart Gadget
The Sensirion Smart Gadget app allows you to establish a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) connection to your Sensirion Smart Gadget. The app displays the current temperature and relative humidity values measured by the integrated sensors. Up to seven Smart Gadgets can be connected simultaneously. The Smart Gadget is open hardware and runs open source firmware. Smart Gadget Hardware Smart Gadget Firmware Gadget from DigiKey Smart Gadget from Mouser
