I'm totally with you there. The HEPA air purifier that I just bought registers input on keyup instead of keydown. This makes you push harder on the buttons, which are just icons, not real buttons, and hence have no tactile feedback. On one hand this is too trivial a thing to be annoyed by, but they could've so easily made it work on keydown and it would've been better! It makes me go "why man, why!"

Does your air filter at least retain its state when unplugged? I take it for granted that if the hard dial on mine is set to an on position, it will be on in that position when I plug it in (or today, when the power comes back on from an outage).

Now that I've taken steps to automate the vast majority of my house I put an extremely high value on state restoration. 9 out of 10 times a decent mid range device with state restoration and a smart plug is a much better solution then the high end connected equivalent, and at a lower price point as a bonus.

Same! I have a Honeywell airpurifier that has a physical switch, wouldn’t risk “upgrading” it as it’s perfect with a smart outlet (turns on only when no one is home!)

Good question; it didn't occur to me. I checked now and looks like they thought of that. I'm a little happier about the purchase, thanks! :-)
