# App Controlled Appliances Fingerbot Sense Offers Touchless Control By Bryce Mason | Published 2022-06-10 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fingerbot-sense References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/adaprox/fingerbot-sense-more-than-just-a-button-pusher?ref=discovery_popular)  Fingerbot Sense lets users control everything in their home, any place, any time. The Fingerbot Sense is a robot that can not only activate standard buttons and switches but can be controlled technologically. There are two options for the new Fingerbot Sense: a [Zigbee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thirdreality-smart-blind) version and a Bluetooth version. Apps, [voice commands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandbar-stream-ring), schedules, timers, and remote monitoring may all be used to operate it at any given time. The Bluetooth model can link straight to your mobile device or a HomeHub and will let you engage your controls and switches by following your orders. The Zigbee version must be used in conjunction with HomeHub. With its first model being released in 2020, Fingerbot has grown the community and released two more generations, both more advanced than the next. The new prototype can be seen on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguins-innovate-white-rabbit), and the anticipation behind the project raised over double the set amount.
