Get Control of Your Gadgets Bye 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 Installation Installing 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 Bills Computers, 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 Emissions By 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 Box Two Bye Bye Standby socket adapters, one remote control.
A single press of a button on the remote puts an end to needless energy waste.

I didn't realize that things with a heating element such as a toaster or toaster oven can't be plugged into this unit, apparently a safety issue, but I had other things (lamps) the units work well with.

We are very happy with this product. We have our entertainment center's power strip plugged into it and it handles it great. To shut down all that electricity we just have to click the red button on the remote! Works great.
Excellent Product

I am not going to give you technical specs, they are in the product description. What I what to tell you is I plugged this device in a socket situated behind a heavy wood dresser drawer, connected the surge protector to it and tested it from my doorway, approximately 14 ft away, and it worked. I only have 2 criteria, that is a device is convenient and it works. This it is and does.
buy 2 sets

Very good product for saving electricity. Buy 2 sets -- you can set them all to the same "zone" or mix them up. You can have a remote at the door and a remote at your bedside, each controlling up to 4 outlets. I haven't had it long enough to judge savings or battery life. But this device, coupled with power strip timers intuitively automatically save electricity.
No line of sight Req'd.

I love this item. It comes with a remote that does not require a direct line of sight. I use it on one of the plugs that hidden behind the tv stand. I can use the remote control from the kitchen, it would still work.
It shuts off everything that's plugged into the power cord, which plugged into the bye bye standby.
I can't wait to see my electric bill after I have put the item in place.
I strongly recommend this item if you want to save money on electricity. You will not regret it.
