Here's an example of a Monetary Rocker switch. It has 3 states and always returns to the middle position after being pressed.
I want to use this in iOS and Android and web, is there any stock control or standard approach for this? If not, would love some ideas :)
EDIT - Why we want this
Our app controls the ON/OFF
state of a WiFi socket plugged into a wall, a bit like a WeMo. A standard switch
control is good for this. Easy.
But... some sockets aren't so smart. You can only ask them to turn ON
or OFF
, they can't actually confirm if it worked. So the app doesn't know if the socket is ON
or OFF
. So one solution is an ON/OFF
button that doesn't store the state of the last action. A rocker switch is a bit like this.
Does that make any sense :) ?
