Have meanwhile 3 of countries sockets in use and use them to, for example, to retrofit an older machine with time delay or when I'm traveling for work, in my rented apartment which is at ground level, to control lights. Works very well. After today many devices (phone, navigation) can constantly need any power, the charging cycle control also wonderful about this DECT 200. Okay, the price is not cheap, but the convenience outweighs that for me again. This makes the this unit, the power consumption can be measured, will so many wonder what a an old washing machine consumes is actually switched off. I've now been the Euro Tronic Comet DECT [programmable energy-saving controller for your home network with FRITZ!] Soon. Soon you can so from the office or on the road, control the heating. And at a price where you have to dig deeper into their pockets for other providers, far out. :-) Conclusion: For tenants a real alternative.
