    Hey
    As I'm completely green in installation matters, I'd like to ask you guys if I'm getting my reasoning right.
    As I found something like this:
    Compact wireless switch

    Give me a hint, if I put this in a box and plug it in front of an electrical socket does that mean I can wirelessly disconnect the socket from the mains ?

    Let's assume that a power strip is plugged into the socket, and a computer, TV etc. are connected to the socket, then when I press the button on the remote control, no power would flow to these devices?

    Thanks in advance for your answer :)

    Thanks for your reply :)

    And do you know if there are any on sale with only say 2KW max?

    I found something else like this Link

    It has 2 channels of 5A - can it somehow be connected to 1 electrical socket or would 2 be needed since it has 2 channels ?

    If you want to use this wireless switch instead of the standard one then you need to have power supplied to it.
    See how many wires come into the box. If only two this wireless switch will not work.

    I've tried to get a little visualisation of exactly what I mean :)

    This is how it more or less looks like.
    In red I have marked the cable coming out of the wall and continuing on
    The cable strip is the 3-core electrical cable (as shown in the picture).

    The sockets are of course sockets.
    I would even be happy to dispense with one in order to fit this radio switch
    Let's assume that this so that I don't get confused about what is what.

    I would like to give it in place of the socket from the left, so that the remote controlled socket is only from the right, and the rest of the sockets that are on the cable going to the left work all the time.

    Is this possible? And, of course, with the aforementioned receiver?
    Let it be even this 1KW.
    A more detailed description of how to connect this would be welcome, and what if I wanted to connect e.g. 2KW there?

    Forgive me for bothering you so much ;)

    All clear.
    For the moment I'm faced with one more problem.
    Namely, I still have a LIVOLO light, specifically a such a dimmer operating at a frequency of 433.92 MHz I think, because I have such a remote control for it.
    I would like to control both the dimmer and the socket with one remote.
    I understand that they have to work on the same frequency so I found a such a switch 3kW + remote for it 4 channel.
    In such a combination, will I be able to configure everything so that the first 2 buttons turn the lights on/off (not dim) and the next two turn the socket on/off? Will I still need another remote control?

    You only specified the carrier frequency, do you know what the code is in the remote controls? Try to find out, or alternatively try programming a 4-channel remote control to one and the other (with a teach button).

    By trial and error you will get the answer. We will worry about channels later - this should be set in the receivers with switches or solder points.
