I would like to hear from someone who has experience using it with the switch always ON, like for a mosquito killing entrance to a box. Thanks.

There s no switch that can be on all the time. It's a button you press when you want to "swat" a bug. It is battery operated and even if you taped the button down to accomplish your task, it would run the battery down. This is not the device for what you want. You need a bug zapper that is powered by electricity.

There is no way to keep the switch on unless you rigged it with tape. The way it works is that you press the button and hold it down to keep the electric current on and then when you release the pressure, it automatically turns off. It's a built in safety precaution so nobody gets zapped accidentally.

I have the same question. I have thought if using a switch but am not sure if it would work that way.

I have never tried it, but the switch has on (no timer), timed and off. I usually just let the water run until it's hot enough.

I have had this switch for several months now and it has performed flawlessly. I have not had a problem with the remote as described by other reviewers. It always remains on the input you last used when powered on/off.

I Know!! That happens to me too. But I always turn the switch off and switch the same batteries around. It works every time.

hey there...i started out pugging and unplugging every night. At this point have gotten lazy and just leave it plugged in all the time! I just press the LOCKED button while I'm away at work so dogs don't hit any buttons. If you have the LED lights turned OFF than technically you are not using any electricity by leaving it on. Hasn't been a problem at all for me. hope this helps

I always keep the switch off at all times and when charging. I only turn it on when needed to jump start the car.

I agree with previous answer. I will post a picture of the switch in the dark

Sorry, I really can't say for sure. Don't have "possession" of this anymore, but as I recall, I think it only has the single set of outputs without a "switch", so therefore it is always "on" -- again, as I recall.

Well..I haven't had one single issue with it! I love it so much, got mine to enable kids to turn on bathroom light by themselves! Works just dandy! I'm surmising others issues may be when more walls, floors etc might be hampering operation? I have another one to install, its got a different frequency. Bought them together, they sent two different ones so not to have a problem. Hope this helps!

not alone. I had some success with it with CFL's only when there was also an incandescent bulb on the same circuit. My switch eventually failed.

It's not a momentary solution. Power stays on until YOU decide to "unclick" it. It is an awesome lil gadget. I totally recommend it.

The only issue I've encountered with these switches is, if you aren't careful about the in and out wires you can wire it so that it works but eats batteries, because you are tripping the relay with the battery if wired incorrectly. I have two units and like them

For this item the auto switch does not work all the time. What I have noticed is you power on the device it will then trigger to switch to that channel.Hope this helps

I had a switch that worked most of the time. Once in a while it would "stick" and a small tap on the side of the unit would free it up and it would run again ok for quite some time. However, on one of its stick times, I hadn't checked it for some time and my whole basement flooded. I changed the switch which I believe is a weak point in the system (after reading other people's posts).

I have it connected to a blu-ray player and a cable box and it switches automatically, however I am careful to turn one off before turning the other one on.

Yes, I love mine, turn it off when u r done running it. it decides to run around by itself. creep me out at first, I figured out the tv remote has something to do with it. lol
