The company's Slate Switch is a battery-powered smart scene controller that snaps over existing switches, supports tactile local control, and can be used as a portable remote. It is designed to simplify smart-home installation while keeping smart bulbs powered and preserving automations. ### Source excerpt We are often asked if we prioritize "Big Tech" firms in the Works with program, but we've always been clear that newer companies are just as important to our certification as household names. Start-ups are innovators, and have their fingers on the pulse of community needs much more than brands that are only at the mercy of their investors. That's just one reason we're thrilled to welcome zunzunbee to the program! They really stood out from the crowd at CES 2026 this January with their new product, the Slate Switch. This battery-powered smart scene controller simply snaps over existing switches - ideal if you rent your home, or don't fancy working with wiring. We're always on the lookout for devices that make setting up your smart home easier, so we're delighted to have zunzunbee on board! A clean slate for switches While zunzunbee are newcomers to the market, founder Harish Raman has more than 18 years' experience in lighting and connected systems - including senior engineering roles at Leviton and Philips. Harish designed the Slate Switch to cut the complexity sometimes found in smart homes, by bringing back simple, tactile control without any installation headaches. And because it builds on top of your existing switches rather than replacing them, it means less waste and more value from the things you already own. "At zunzunbee, we believe smart home control should feel natural, reliable, and stay under the user's control. The Home Assistant community shares that same philosophy, with a focus on local control, flexibility, and deep customization. Slate Switch was designed to solve everyday friction in smart homes, and we are excited to bring it to a community that values thoughtful automation and truly understands how homes should work." - Harish Raman, Founder Not just for newbies The Slate Switch isn't just a low-barrier entry point for beginners. It also tackles an issue that can crop up in more complex smart home setups: someone flipping a wall switch that con ## Marc Andreessen Egg Game DevFeed: [Marc Andreessen Egg Game]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: Nolen Royalty (eieiogames@gmail.com) Published: 2026-05-07T00:00:00Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [eieio.games]() Topics: [Image](), [object]() Tags: [game](), [images](), [lighting]() ### AI overview A playful developer article about Marc Andreessen Egg Game, a game for drawing eggs that resemble Marc Andreessen.
