Home / Usage & Troubleshooting

WARNING: SWITCHEROO IS INTENDED FOR LIGHTING USAGE ONLY. PLUGGING ANYTHING BESIDES STANDARD LIGHTS (LAMPS ETC.) INTO SWITCHEROO MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE UNIT.

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.

Electrical Rating: 120v AC, 8A, 60Hz, 960W

To use Switcheroo, set a Switcheroo to "Send" mode and pick a channel, then plug it into a switched outlet (or timer).

Switcheroo in Send Mode

Then, set one or more other Switcheroos to "Receive" mode on the same channel and plug them into standard (non-switched) outlets. Note: You can have as many receiving units as you would like on each channel.

Switcheroo in Receive Mode

Plug lamps into configured Switcheroos as desired. The "Send" unit does not need to have a lamp plugged into it for the system to work.

Now, turn on your light switch and watch all of your lamps turn on together like magic!
