Mechanical Switch?

🛎️ Get Help Devices

Hello,

My wife uses an oxygen concentrator while we sleep. It has an on/off switch on the front shown here.

I would ordinarily use a smart plug however, when the switch is on and the device gets unplugged, it beeps to alert the user that they are not getting their expected oxygen. So, I need a smart device that I can attach, somehow, to the front of her concentrator that will operate this switch. I have searched high and low and apparently don't even know what this would be called since I can't find anything.

Ideas?

A Switchbot/Fingerbot. They are available in Zigbee.

I'm not sure what the automation goal here is. With that said, you could use something like this zigbee fingerbot:

With all that said, is it really a good idea to automate a lifesaving medical device?

We aren't looking to automate shutdown as much as startup. We frequently head to bed forgetting to turn it on. I'm looking for a way to turn it on without having to take the BiPAP off and get out of bed to hit a switch.
