Finder releases two new features for its Toolbox app, the app that lets you program Finder devices simply, using your smartphone.
In addition to a new, redesigned icon, the Finder Toolbox app <a href="https://www.findernet.com/en/worldwide/series/12-series-mechanical-or-electronic-digital-time-switches-16a/type/type-12b2-annual-astro-switch-with-bluetooth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">now includes the Type 12.B2</a>, a recently launched annual Bluetooth astro time switch.
Using the app – compatible with both Android and iOS systems – the parameters of the compatible Finder devices can be managed quickly and intuitively with NFC (Near Field Communication) and Bluetooth 5 technology.
You can configure and/or read programs, and modify a wide range of options, according to your needs.
You can also save your program and to apply it to multiple devices, sharing them with other users if you wish.

In addition to the Type 12.B2 Bluetooth annual astro time switch, using the Finder Toolbox app you can also program other products within the Finder range. Here’s the complete list:
