That Outlet Your Switch Controls? It's Often the Wrong One.
You know the frustration: your wall switch controls an outlet behind the couch, while the lamp you actually want to turn on sits across the room. You're not alone – this drives millions of homeowners crazy every single day.
Finally, you can change which outlets are controlled by your wall switch – without calling an electrician or rewiring anything. Control multiple lamps with one switch. Sync all your holiday lights. Fix that switched outlet problem in just 30 seconds with Switcheroo.
How to Change Which Outlet is Controlled by Switch (Without These Headaches)
When your light switch controls the wrong outlet, you've had three bad options: Smart outlets need WiFi and apps that your guests can't use. They stop working when your internet goes down, and often need updates and reconfiguration.
An electrician can rewire your switched outlets for hundreds of dollars, but that means cutting into walls, permits, and days of mess. Plus, people in apartments can't even consider this option.
Extension cords? Sure, if you enjoy tripping hazards and ugly cables snaking across your floor. They're a band-aid, not a real solution when your outlet is controlled by the wrong switch.

Why Switcheroo Beats Smart Outlets for Switch Control
Smart outlets promise to solve your switched outlet problem, but they create new headaches. When your WiFi drops, your lights stop working. When you change your password, you're reprogramming devices. When your phone dies, you're in the dark.
Switcheroo works differently. Your wall switch stays in control - always. Guests flip the switch like normal. No apps, no instructions, no 'Hey, can you download this?' Just instant control of the outlets you actually want. Because the best technology is invisible.
Frequently Asked Questions
A switched outlet is an outlet in your house controlled by a light switch. Turn the light switch on, and the power to the outlet is on, turn it off, and the power is off. Odds are, you have one somewhere in your house.
NOTICE: Switcheroo will not function connected to a dimming switch. It is against U.S. building code to connect a dimming switch to a standard outlet. Switcheroo will not function and may even fail permanently if connected to a dimmable outlet.
First and foremost, Switcheroo does not require a clunky app to turn your lights on and off. The devices are stand-alone, and all configuration (what little there is) takes place on the devices themselves. That means that if your WiFi goes out or your password changes, Switcheroo continues to work.
Yes! Switcheroo works on any powered outlet, regardless of how it is powered. That means that you can plug Switcheroo into a timer, use it with existing smart outlets, and configure it however you like to manage your home lighting.
Switcheroo communicates over wireless (radio) signals. As such, Switcheroo generally works well in most typically-sized houses, depending on the layout and construction of the house.
While we are exploring future versions of Switcheroo that can handle other devices down the road, we wanted to keep the size (and cost) of Switcheroo down. We did this by optimizing it for lighting applications, which rarely use a grounding prong and are the most common devices that are turned on and off with wall switches.
