Bye Bye Standby is a brand new energy saving solution designed to reduce the daily energy consumption of electrical devices. Bye Bye Standby works by completely cutting power to the devices plugged into it when they're not in use, thus saving the power that these devices would otherwise have consumed in Standby Mode. Bye Bye Standby is a new way to save energy, carbon emissions and money.
The Bye Bye Standby Energy Saving Kit is a completely new way to reduce the energy consumed by electric devices in your home or office. Plug your computer, printer, or stereo into a Bye Bye Standby adapter and instantly save money on your electric bill. These smart devices will completely cut power to your gadgets when they are not in use, and you don't have to unplug anything! There's even a handy remote with a coding system that allows you to control multiple Bye Bye Standby modules. This kit includes two wall adapter sockets and a remote control.

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.

This has saved me money.
Good product, one small feature that would have been niceReviewed by DF, 2010-02-26
This remote switch works exactly as described. In my specific
situation, I don't regularly use my instant hot water dispenser and
the plug for it is under my kitchen sink. When the hot water
dispenser is "on," it generates a significant warm/hot area under
my counter. It is obviously consuming a measurable amount of
electricity and periodically makes a rumbling/gurgling sound as it
periodically reheats the small water tank. I previously had it
plugged into a timer, but I don't use hot water at regular
intervals or a specific time of the day, so it was sometimes a hit
and miss if the water was hot or not and there are many times when
it is being heated when I do not need it.
I found that the routine that works well for me is that when I know
that I will need hot water, I simply use the remote to turn on the
hot water dispenser (no more bending down and reaching under the
sink!) and do some simple cleaning of my kitchen and after several
minutes, my water is nice and hot and I've tidied up my kitchen at
the same time!
A feature enhancement I think would benefit my situation would be
an audible response when turning the unit on or off. Without an
audible confirmation, I need to go by the soft "click" heard when
the unit is turned on or off. Being under my sink, it is barely
audible. A user selectable beep option (of course not everyone
would want their remote switch to beep, so it should be user
selectable) would provide audible confirmation when I turn this on
or off as I have once or twice pushed the "on" button but
discovered later that it didn't register and my water heater was
not in fact turned on.
All things considered, this product is a winner and works as
advertised.
Simple & WorksReviewed by H. Martinez, 2010-02-25
this is the type of devices i like, works and its simple. I have connected to it a 42" TV, suround sound system, PS3, European dvd player/kareoke, hand vaccum cleaner, digital picture frame, so picture the savings!!!
Excellent product!!!!Reviewed by RD, 2010-02-21
I love it. The only bad thing is that it just brings one remote,
but for the price I will order another one just to use the remote
in another room. I don't know how much power, if any, I will be
saving a year but just to be able to turn all of the annoying
standby lights in my bedroom at night, is worth every penny.
Just for your information, in my case I don't have to have the plug
in site. I have it behind a desk. I just aim to the wall and it
works perfect.
I am only saying how it works for me that does not mean it will be
the same for everyone else. Definitely recommended!!!!
Works great!!!Reviewed by N. STRIK, 2010-02-20
I used to bend down behind the furniture to unplug the TV. Now it
is so much easier with this energy saving kit.
I can even get my kids to help save energy (They love remote
controls).
