Testimonials & Reviews
Liz Evans
Original Do Not Deskturb Remote x2
My son and daughter are both delighted with their remote controlled 'Do Not Disturb' signs and it is making home schooling so much easier. I now know when it's safe to deliver laundry, cups of tea or printing. In fact, I don't know how we got through previous lockdowns without them! Thank you Firefly Team for a great product and great customer service.

Can I customise the sign's text? Do you offer them in any other languages?

-
How is the device mounted?
The modern style product is mounted with double sided tape (included) onto a wall or door, whilst the original design is hung on a door knob or free standing. We also offer a option of a base instead for the modern so it can sit upright on a desk.

The smart design connects with your smartphone over your WiFi network. It can also work via calendar integration by automatically activating during a scheduled meeting using our webapp. Additionally you can connect by linking it to your Alexa or Google Home system, it can be activate by the command “turn on/off do not disturb” (or any name you choose).
-
Can I get the remote control mechanism in the smart design?
Yes you can! We are now offering the option of including the remote control system into either of the modern designs.
-
Are they eco friendly?
Yes, both of our designs were designed with the environment in mind, the original is based around a specific type of wood deemed to be one of the most sustainable resources in the world (Paulownia wood), in our smart product we use PLA for 3D printing. This is a special biodegradable plastic. We are also now 100% carbon neutral, and we have offset all our emissions since day 1.
-
Do you offer a version with a rechargeable battery included?
Our team is currently hard at work finishing up designing a new rechargeable version, with a massive new battery (included) which you can charge up via your USB cable.
