Never saw this type of outlet, this is first- so what is the switch above it for? To turn on/off the outlet below? what is this useful for? thanks

I used it to turn on/off light above vanity and the plug is used for a hairdryer. They are not connected.

This device is both a switch and a receptacle. The switch can be wired to control any device. The receptacle is a GFCI outlet that can meet code requirements for bathrooms and kitchens.

Switch is for a light so if you need plug in outlet in a wet area you can use this gfi device

The switch is GFCI and can be used to start a Garbage Disposal of other appliance requiring GFCI circuits

You could wire it to turn off the outlet or to turn on/off a second fixture

The outlet is separate from the switch which I use to control a light. It's a space saver when you need both an outlet and switch combination.

Tarik, There is no switch on the heater, only a long extension cord. I installed a switched outlet to plug it into. That is the only way to avoid using the plug alone as an on/off switch. It is a very good unit,, it mounts very close to combustible materials and looks good. You may need 2 units if you are trying to heat a larger area. Hope that helps. I guess we should also thank Amazon for knowing I bought one and sending me a note to lend you a hand. Good luck!

I have not used it for that application. I have spent a good bit of time learning the functions that it offers. It's basically an on/off switch. You can wire it into anything just as you would a switch. You need to find a place to connect it that has hot, ground, AND neutral. It will not work without a neutral.

I'd like to help answer your question but I do not know what you mean by an "air switch".I wired it as a plug in to a regular grounded outlet. The drain cap has a specific notch location on it to activate.

You plug it into the TOP outlet and the bottom outlet is still available. Plug it into the bottom outlet and it will COVER the top outlet as well. FYI: We use this to turn off a major appliance during PEAK times .. it has worked great and without fail.

If I understand you correctly, you have a switch that turns off both outlets, and you want to have one always on... You would need to rewire the outlet so one side is constant power, and the other is operated by the switch (otherwise when the switch is turned off both legs of the outlet will have no power). Now what you could do once you have constant power to the switch is have the switch operate the non controlled side of the outlet, and have the other outlet be controlled via a Insteon hub.

It's not supposed to be -- I asked my electrician to and he refused. I instead had the power outlet attached to the wall switch so I can turn it on and off like that. I was pretty disappointed about that.

There is an outlet, however, I am not certain if it is for output only or input & output.Cheers

It's just a NC (normally-closed) switch designed to be held-open when installed to prevent a complete circuit until it is released. It is intended to be used as an open ground but could be wired/installed to act as a "positive" contact. These are about the simplest limit switches in existence. If you can't easily grab the concept of how they work, maybe you should hire someone to do the wiring for you.

No, it is a manual switch that powers two outlets on the opposite side. It is designed to give dual control for two items at the same time. I use mine on my band saw to turn a work lite on and the band saw at the same time.

C., that is an indicator light in the center, and not a switch. This is a wall mounted surge protector, and you need an in-the-wall ground fault circuit interruptor duplex receptacle, which you can get at a big box store or Amazon. This is usually a code requirement in water environments (kitchens, baths, and outside). Hope this helps.

It's an automatic switch (no external mechanism to manipulate). It doesn't have a set of adapters for international wall outlets.

There's a little plastic peg that you could break off if you had to make it work in a side-by-side, but it isn't designed to be used with anything but a vertical double outlet. You couldn't put it on a double with a switch or get any use out of the cool flip down holsters in an upside-down outlet (but they make one that's almost identical, just without the holsters, that would work in that instance). Side-by-side aren't very common where I'm from... So, yes and no. It would "work", with slight modification, but you'd lose one of the biggest advantages (at least in my house, which I share with a toddler and three boisterous cats), which is that this unit comes with a screw so you can secure it to the outlet using the screw hole from the cover plate. This is especially handy because it keeps the unit from coming off the wall every time you unplug something. I never have to worry about visitors using it and losing power to my network by accident anymore!

There are 3 different on/off switches that each control 3 ports. This way you can leave plugs and/or devices plugged in and not keep yanking cords out over and over and use the power buttons to cut power when not using

it is a switch, it's only on when it's dark, you want to turn it off wire any type switch on the positive side, all is required is to break the + side ac/dc

It's an outlet. You can hook it any circuit that any other 15amp outlet can hook to.
