Can this be expanded to use multiple outlet plugs with a single remote? Ideally I'd like one button to work multiple outlets throughout the room.

Kathy, what you want to do is feasible, but the outlet plugins have to be set to the same frequency of the transmitter. Check with the manufacture to make sure. The other factor is distance. The transmitter is good for only a short distance.

I would not recommend doing that because of the current load. The switch has a 10 amp (PEAK) rating. I would not recommend using it for more than 5 amperes of continuous current, more than that for any lengthy duration would likely increase risk for breakdown and potential fire. If you are using it for very low power devices, you could do that, but I would check the current rating of everything you daisy-chain from it very carefully before doing that.

what ever cord you plug into this remote will only turn on that one item. I have used a three outlet switch and plugged in this remote and plugged in 3 different things and used the remote to turn on all 3 items at one time.

I don't believe so as it has to be plugged in to a single outlet,and it operates off of the remote

I had one like that until it quit workiing. Actually it worked for a long time. I don't know why it quit. But it was good because I could turn on lights and turn them off with one super switch remote.

Hi, is not a universal remote as you think. Only the D-pad, and the tree bottons above it and the power work on IR, the rest of the remote is RF. The current use I found for that is to turn on the tv, select the source and then use the RF to control the pc. If you just want to power on multiple devices it can be programmed for each button speratley but you'll have very limited to 0 control of your other devices

My switch only has only one outlet. You may be able to put a one-to-three outlet adapter in that one outlet. That would mean "switching off" the outlet would "switch off" everything plugged into the one-to-three adapter. Keep in mind that will be a lot of bulk hanging on your wall outlet. Good Luck.

There is a set you can buy that includes two remotes with the plug ins, specifically for the purpose you are wanting. Amazon does sell it, as I was just considering buying it now rather than this single remote set - doing comparison shopping. I think you can find it by simply adding "2nd remote" in your Amazon search.

You should be ok, there are dip switches that let you set each one to different frequency, i have 2 and they don't interfere. Actually because of the remote's 2 sets of controls, i can control both switches from one remote. But you don't have to set it up that way.

No, that is fixed. So in one standard wall outlet with two outlets you can only use one of the devices.

The company says that both are possible, adding outlets or remotes. They say the added outlets or remotes can use a learning phase to all use one code. Contact the company for more details. Hope this helps. Viking

Yes, I just went into the living room to double-check. There is plenty of room to plug a standard plug into the lower outlet. I doubt if you would have room to put a second one of these switches in there though.

Each outlet is paired with a channel on the remote, which has five channels. So the max would be five individual separate outlets. I would not expect a second set to operate on a different range of frequencies. But to be sure I would contact the manufacturer.

If you purchase a second car power plug, you could use these in separate cars as totally separate things. There is only one remote and it works with both units.

You can program the wall plugs to all be the same number or each a different number. Each remote can control all the wall plugs. Example: I have two in my living room (number 1 and 2) and one in my bedroom (number 3). I have one remote in the living room and one in the bedroom. I don't know the maximum range of a remote, but I can turn on my bedroom lamp from the living room (30 feet through 2 walls).

Is only made to work for single in, multiple out. There is another one with a switch that is for multiple In and single out

Yes, I believe so. I can plug two of these into one outlet, if that is what you mean. (one on top of the other). The switch to turn on or off is on the side so you can still access it.

Ours is wired to use two switches. Not an electrician, but I would imagine you could wire them both to one switch if desired.

There is no reason that one switch cannot be operated from two remotes, as long as both remotes are sending on the same frequency. The only way to confirm or deny this would be to purchase two sets, and try using both #1 remotes with one of the switches. Although I haven't tried this, I believe it would work.

I do it with a splitter, but it only has one outlet and will not control them independently.

Yes. I've done just this exact set-up for different areas of house and with multiple remotes operating same outlets. If need to change, reprogram each remote to "new" outlet. Love these things because of ease of use in reassigning outlets to specific remote numbers.
