    How incredibly handy this is.

    Linked to two table lamps in awkward corners it has paid for itself twice over already in terms of convenience. No more crawling to get to sockets or clambering to reach the lamps. Brill.

    Two slight drawbacks thus 4 stars. "On" is the top of the switch and "off" is the bottom - the opposite of all our wall switches.
    Also the sticky foam pads are a little weak. Use your own higher grade items.

    This is a marvelous 28 Feb 2009
    By Mikep
    Unfortunately our light switch is the other end of the kitchen and meant walking through the darkness to switch on. Not now:- just touch the top for on and the bottom for off. It can go anywhere and operates any of the bye bye plug in sockets.

    I am very pleased with this.

    Really disappointing 30 April 2009
    Amazon Verified Purchase
    I bought this so as to be able to "switch my home off at the push of a button" (their words) with a switch by the front door. But I can't.

    The blurb says "Will control one address code (can be either individual or a group of devices)" BUT 'group' is used with a narrower meaning from that used for the sockets --- it can only switch (a group of) sockets that all have the same number.

    The Byebye remote control in Bye Bye Standby Energy Saving Kit DOES have a group function, as do the sockets. This switch does not. So the only way of using it for the purpose I want is to give all sockets the same number and so lose all individual control. This isn't joined up design, nor is the switch having double the number of zone and number codes, half of which are of no use with the sockets that you can buy.

    I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviewer who points out the lack of a manual over-ride on the sockets. And as another reviewer comments, this switch doesn't come with any set-up instructions.

    It's really disappointing that such a neat little device suffers from some basic design flaws.

    This thing is pretty terrible
    Yeah, so, as the others have said, this can only control one device or several devices if they all use the exact same address. That is, for example, Group A Device 1. Read more
