How to install the receiver To avoid electric shock, always turn off the power to the light fixture or outlet you want to add the switch to.

These days, it seems like everything requires a special outlet. Luckily, we've put together an in-depth guide on how to install a USB outlet to free up space.

Next, cut a hole to accommodate the switch box you’re planning to add, and then cut a one- to two-inch tall slot a few inches wide below the outlet to allow access to fish the wire through.

The outlet is always hot, and the switch controls only the light. If you don't have an outdoor box to tap into, consider installing an outdoor outlet in your house.

Got your hands full? Don't drop everything just to find the switch. This light switch's smart sensor will turn on the lights for you.
