View larger.Get Control of Your GadgetsBye Bye Standby is the perfect accessory for all of your appliances that have standby modes, such as your TV, printer, or wireless router. When you're out on the town or asleep in bed, your appliances are sucking energy--even though they are not turned on. With Bye Bye Standby, you can put an end to this needless energy waste. Just press a single button on the included remote control to disconnect your stereo or other device from anywhere in the room--no more crawling around under desks and behind entertainment centers to unplug your electronics. Press the button again and reconnect your appliances in a snap. Bye Bye Standby adapters connect between a wall socket and an electrical device. You can use a Bye Bye Standby three-plug socket adapter to control an entire power strip's worth of devices, or you can control devices individually using separate adapters. Easy InstallationInstalling a Bye Bye Standby wall adapter is a cinch, just plug and play! First, set the dial on the back of the module to the code of your choice; this code will correspond to a four-position switch on the included remote control. Next, insert the socket adapter into your home or office outlet and plug in your devices. It's that easy! Bye Bye Standby socket adapters should only be used indoors, away from rain or humidity. Do not connect electrical devices with heating elements, such as microwaves or space heaters, to the adapters. Save Money on Your Energy BillsComputers, routers, and other electronic devices draw power even when in standby mode, so the meter on your electric bill is almost always running. Recent studies show that in the average household, leakage from standby power accounts for 15 percent of energy consumption. By plugging your gear into a Bye Bye Standby socket, you have the ability to completely shut off power to these devices, thereby eliminating wasted electricity and wasted money. Reduce Carbon EmissionsBy using the Bye Bye Standby, you'll be doing your part to reduce the large amount of CO2-equivalent emissions that are attributed to electrical devices left in standby mode. It is estimated that the power used by Americans releases roughly the same amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as 3.7 million cars! Use Bye Bye Standby and do your part to protect the environment. The Bye Bye Standby Energy Saving Kit is covered by a one-year limited warranty. What's in the BoxTwo Bye Bye Standby socket adapters, one remote control.A single press of a button on the remote puts an end to needless energy waste.

Reviews

The fact that you can control 3 plugs independently and then up to 12 plugs in your house is pretty handy. I did some searching for wireless lamp controls and this was the best value. I have this hooked up to 2 Ikea lamps in the bedroom so this works nicely when we want 1 or both lamps on.

After trying the Super Switch version of this remote controlled outlet, I would have to say that BBS version is a much better product. I've just installed four groups of plug-in under cabinet lights and was thinking about having an electrician install switched outlets until I came across this set. The $50 set of switches saved me hundreds! Most other remotes have single button to turn on or off, and come with a pre-set frequency. The best thing about this unit is that it has both on and off switches, which allows me to hit the button again if one of the lights didn't receive the signal. Also, I've put all four groupings to the same preset, which allows me to turn on all the under cabinet light by pushing one button, which would not be possible with other units. It would have been nice to have local on/off switch, but I can live without it. Operating range is also pretty good and works through walls. Outlets are rated 15A, 1800W resistive, 1/3 HP, 600W Tungsten Lamp. As an electrical engineer, I would say that this product is well suited for most household application. Product seems very well put together, switch works much better than the Super Switch version, and I don't have to throw out the whole set of switches because either the remote or the outlet stop working (which occurred to one of the buttons on the remote and outlet on the other Superswitch product). It is very nice to have the sliding switch on the back of the remote, which allows me to control other groups for other areas of the house (walk around the whole house and control any other devices with just one remote). Would highly recommend for anyone looking to save energy, or looking to add switching function to plugged in devices, or just looking to be click happy! Will be looking to order half dozen more units. 6Feb10 Revision : Product is made in China. Remotes use commonly available CR2032 button cell batteries (then much more expensive 3V batteries on the Superswitch version). I've used adhesive lined velcro to mount next to existing light switches. Still works great after month of everyday use.

Like the product. Works well but would have liked to be able to purchase the units individually. The remote has three separate buttons for control of three units but kit only has two included. Had the purchase two more kits as I wanted six unites. now have two extra remotes. Oh well, now I have two spares for when the first remote dies.

I've been looking for Z-Wave sockets and remotes so that I could control lights etc. from the comfort of my recliner. The problem with Z-Wave is the cost! Z-Wave may be a good option for remote control of electronic devices but the cost in my opinion was prohibitive. Then I found this device. Not only does it do exactly what I wanted to find in Z-Wave, but it does it affordably. The receiver is easy to set up to any button code you want so that you can add pretty much any amount of receivers for one push of a button on the remote. The remote is the only device that needs batterys and it seems to work a a fairly good range through walls and obstacles. Overall I recommend this device and plan on buying more.

This product has worked reliably for several months without flaw. It enables me to turn off my cable box and TV saving substantial electrical waste [about 30 watts even when off - 263 kwhr per year!]. In addition, I use this unit to reset my cable modem that is located upstairs without having to unplug, wait and replug - which has to be done every couple of days. I am ordering a second unit!
